Kendall Band
The ''Kendall Band'' is a three-part musical sculpture created between 1986 and 1988 by Paul Matisse, who is the grandson of French artist Henri Matisse and stepson of surrealist artist Marcel Duchamp.〔Christopher Reed. ("Pure Fabrication" ). ''Harvard Magazine''. May–June 2002. Accessed May 26, 2010.〕 It is installed between the inbound and outbound tracks of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Kendall Station located in Cambridge, Massachusetts near the MIT campus. The art work is seen by an estimated 12,518 riders on an average weekday,〔(MBTA Bluebook ). MBTA. 2007. Accessed May 26, 2010〕 and originally cost $90,000 to construct.〔Daly, Gabriel J. and Velan, Sonam S. ("T-Riders Ring the Sound of Science" ). ''The Harvard Crimson''. December 07, 2006 . Accessed May 27, 2010.〕
The three parts of the interactive work are called ''Pythagoras'', ''Kepler'', and ''Galileo'', and are all controlled by levers located on the subway platforms.〔("Grace notes from the underground" ). ''The Boston Globe''. May 9, 2010. Accessed May 26, 2010.〕
==Sculpture==
The ''Kendall Band'' is an interactive sound sculpture located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in Kendall Station. The work consists of three interactive instruments that are played using handles located on both the inbound and outbound subway platform walls.〔 Each instrument was designed so that it could be played from either platform of the subway station. Aluminum, steel, and teak were all used in the construction of the musical instruments, with the teak being used for the heads of the hammers.〔("Arts on the Line: Kendall Square" ). ''Cambridge Arts Council''. 2002. Accessed May 30, 2010〕 The ensemble was created by Paul Matisse, who is the grandson of Henri Matisse and stepson of Marcel Duchamp.〔 Matisse won the commission in 1981 to create a sculpture for Kendall Station,〔 as part of an effort to beautify the Red Line and its stations. This effort was known as the "Arts on the Line" program,〔 and was "the first program in the nation to put works of art in public transportation systems."〔 The work was not installed until 1987 due to station reconstruction.〔
Due to fears of the art work being vandalized, Matisse decided to place the sculpture between the inbound and outbound tracks of the station before even deciding on what to create. He said "It had a third rail on one side, a third rail on the other side, and I thought it would be safe."〔 Matisse is known for other interactive sound sculptures, such as his ''Musical Fence'' (1980), which was originally installed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and now is located at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, Massachusetts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.decordova.org/art/sculpture-park/musical-fence )〕
