Paul Kos

[5] In 1969, Tom Marioni organized and curated Paul Kos' first solo exhibition, Participationkinetics, at the Richmond Art Center.

[1][7][8] Besides his studio practice, Kos has made large scale public art installations including: Poetry Sculpture Garden with Poet Laureate, Bob Hass, at 199 Fremont Street, San Francisco and “Every thing matters” for the J. Michael Bishop Collection at the UCSF Mission Bay Campus.

[9][4] The first major retrospective of his work “Everything Matters” (2003) was held at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

"[25] This piece is a video work, represents a full-scale recreation of a stained-glass stained glass windows in Chartres Cathedral.

[29] A ton of sand that was placed on the upper floor was sifting through a minute hole to the lower level, in the shape of a perfect cone.

Interesting correlation between the fiction and the reality and mechanical regularity of little man's steps and disposition of wooden planks.

[22] Tower of Babel was created in 1989 and is an 20‐channel video installation, with a large, spiral‐ shaped metal armature (Vladimir Tatlin–inspired) the supported the monitors.

[10] The work Pawn was completed in 1991, and featured 2,500 plastic magnetic chess pieces, steel panel on the wall, and wood.

[32] These pieces don't mimic pawn's symmetry but the illusion of light and shadow in bright red.
