Our component art gallery division exhibits sculptures by artists who work with both high and low tech component materials derived from life in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Component Art Sculptor and Cinema Antiques Founder, Bill Reiter, uses materials in his work, such as vintage: circuit boards, integrated circuits, chips, digital and analog components, tubes, drives belts, resistors, transistors, connectors, rheostats, potentiometers, gauges, analog and digital readout displays, gearings and a host of other component materials that have been used long ago to fabricate equipment and controls of our past daily lives.

Pieces are wall-hung sculptures, free-standing sculptures, shelf displays and desk paperweights in various sizes. By shaping various vintage technical components, from the past, into specialized design pieces, Reiter shapes an organic vision based on the materials that effect and often control our daily lives.

This view of the ‘stuff of life’ aggregates and separates the components of our lives into a shared vision of life among the ‘components.’ “They are all around us.”

By mastering, repurposing and controlling these component bits, we may gain a better look at where we come from, as well as seeing the hardware, salvage, surplus and artifacts of our society in all of its negative as well as positive influences.

All the parts and ‘components’ of our lives are asking for respectful preservation and design objectification.
