132MISSION STATEMENT OF THE DAVID BERMANT FOUNDATIONThe David Bermant Foundation: Color, Light, Motion was established in 1986 to encourage and advocate experimental visual art which draws its form, content and working materials from late twentieth- century technology.Founded by David W. Bermant, who in 1965 began to build a collection that has become the preeminent private assemblage of work from this genre, the Foundation is devoted to fostering the efforts ofartists working with non-traditional materials. These materials include physical sources of energy, light and sound, which are used in works that question and extend the boundaries of the visual arts.The Foundation seeks also to cultivate public awareness of and appreciation for the synthesis of fine art and technology by supporting artists and institutions involved in the presentation, study, commission, collection, or exhibition of such work.DaviD Bermant founDation
