Ned Kahn is an environmental artist and sculptor, known in particular for museum exhibits, one of which is the Exploratorium in San Francisco. His work usually intends to make an invisible aspect of nature, visible.

Early life

Kahn was born in New York City and raised in Stamford, Connecticut.[1] At the age of 10, he staged his first exhibition of sculptures fashioned from salvaged junkyard items, where his mother had taken him.[2]

After graduating with a degree in botany and environmental science from the University of Connecticut, in 1982, Kahn moved to San Francisco, where he was fascinated by the Exploratorium.[3] He worked there from 1982 to 1996 under the tutelage of the museum's founder, Frank Oppenheimer.[4] In 2001, Kahn became the artist in residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts.[5]

Kahn moved from San Francisco to Graton, California[4] in 1998[5] and works from the Ned Kahn Studios in Sebastopol.[6] He is married and has two children. Kahn cites his daily meditation routine as key to his artistic development.[2]

Often when you ask scientists, 'How did you get into your field?', you find out it was an aesthetic experience. Geologists just love rocks. It's the sensory connection that gets them started.

 — Ned Kahn, quoted in 2004 Sunset magazine article[3]

Works

Cloud Rings at the Exploratorium

Some examples of Kahn's work to capture the invisible include building facades that move in waves in response to wind;[11][12] indoor tornadoes and vortices made of fog, steam, or fire;[13] and a transparent sphere containing water and sand which, when spun, erodes a beach-like ripple pattern into the sand surface. In 2003 Kahn collaborated with Koning Eizenberg Architecture, Inc. on Articulated Cloud, a piece installed on the exterior walls of the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh consisting of hundreds of movable flaps that respond to the wind creating visible patterns.[11]

His work is in the collection of di Rosa, Napa.[14]
