As the season comes to a close Mojo wants to dedicate the summer of 2017 to gratitude. The summer has been a great success and with the participation of all who were involved he would like to give THANKS!

2017 Summer in Review

Speaking at the Parish for Pecha Kucha night was both humbling and wonderful.  What amazing artists to be among and hear their stories spoken. Thank you to the Parish Art Museum and Jennifer Duque. Thank you to everyone who came to hear our stories and thank you to all the artists who spoke alongside each other.

Being invited to ashawagh hall summer of sculpture inspired changes which created big waves in the placement of my larger sculptures. These sculptures are intricate and enormous and miraculously transportable. Thank you to Loring Bolger and to Christina Mossaides Strassfield Museum Director/Chief Curator at Guild Hall for coordinating the Summer of Sculpture 2017. Your efforts began a new circulation of motion in my kinetic work.

Being featured in 27east is always an honor. The most read newspaper of the hamptons featuring a local artist reminds me of the support being from a small town really means. Thank you to Julia Halsey formaking that happen. Your timing couldn't have been more perfect with the juggling of these pieces. Along with finding new spaces they were given new perspectives with your words.

Five Squares Developing pairs with our own Robert Mojo with an ambitious endeavor to recycle a decommissioned subway car. Creatively slicing the subway car into seven sections and turning them into kiosks allowing for local businesses to offer their services to transit commuters generating income for the community. Ron Kaplan of Five squares, can be credited for masterminding the plan and selecting a paramount in creativity and determination to exact the plan seamlessly. Thats where Mojo and his team tirelessly carved the subway car into smaller sections to be placed at the Strathmore Square in Bethesda, Maryland. Despite temperatures exceeding 90 degrees the retail pop-up ribbon cutting was held on Wednesday, May 17th 2017 successfully drawing a huge crowd. The commuters and community alike all seemed to enjoy the new use of space.  

An artist who is best known for breathing new life into discarded remains Mojo took on this project with enthusiasm and gusto. With tons of scrap from the train's underbelly Mojo went on to create a sculpture with the leftover aluminum and spare parts soon to be on display with WMATA. Provided below are links to some of the media coverage that the project brought about.

...about what I am going to build next. My wheels are always turning. I'm not limited to kinetic sculpture, but even when I create still sculpture it tends have the illusion of movement.

Look across from the Old Stove Pub, to see Tipping Point XIX.

Robert recently started to work on a series of abstract works. Stay tuned for more!

Crazy Horse, made out of 100% recycled steel and found objects, is on display during the Hampton Classic which takes place from August 28 - September 4, 2016

This phenomenal kinetic sculpture was produced by Robert Mojo over the course of 7 months.

Synopsis

As you've been shopping for your fresh vegetables, flowers and fruits of late at the Hayground farm field in Water Mill, you will certainly have noticed a rather large, colorful sculpture created by East End native, Robert "Mojo" Mojeski. The sculpture, entitled "Synopsis," moves with the wind, and complements the surrounding landscape. If you have missed it for some reason, than while sitting in traffic along 27, look for his piece "The Tipping Point XIX" across from The Old Stove Pub in Sagaponack.

Synopsis

Sculptures are rising on farm fields like stalks of corn—whether it’s a Roy Lichtenstein outside the Parrish, or a Robert Mojeski beside the Green Thumb Market at Hayground. Read the entire interview with Virginia Garrison by clicking here.

The large yellow ball held aloft by a bowing red ladder on a Sagaponack farm field is Robert Mojeski’s “Tipping Point XIX.” The kinetic sculpture went up—up is an operative word, as the piece is 19 feet tall—the Friday before last, around the time that potatoes were being dug.
