From All The Submarines Of The Unites States Of America. Cardboard and metal // Submarine by Chris Burden is a mixed-media sculpture created in 1987 as part of his series All The Submarines of the United States of America. Constructed from cardboard and metal, this model is a minimalist representation of a submarine, capturing its essential form with raw materials. The piece embodies Burden's exploration of themes such as military power and the hidden, often ominous presence of underwater vessels. The sculpture's simplicity emphasizes the anonymity and ubiquity of submarines, making a subtle commentary on the covert nature of naval operations. Its modest size and unadorned construction evoke both fragility and functionality, drawing attention to the inconspicuous yet impactful role submarines play in military contexts.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
