Barry Martin (1943 - 2025)[1] was a British artist associated with the kinetic art movement of the 1960s, in which physical movement was incorporated into art. Martin also explored ideas of movement in the activities of games: among artists whose work has explored chess, Martin was described as "perhaps the most important".[2] His work appears in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum,[3] Tate,[4] and British Council,[5] among others. According to the Victoria and Albert Museum:
[Martin] has worked in various media - including kinetic sculpture, film, performance, and the making of environments - but the constant in his work has been drawing, either as a working tool, as a means of recording and observing, or as an end in itself. For Martin, drawing is a system of signs analogous to those of language, and also an intellectual process of enquiry, analysis and proposition.[6]
