Beschrijving

Tent. Londen, Hayward Gallery, 30-01-2013, 28-04-2013. - Groepstentoonstelling met lichtinstallaties van o.m. Olafur Eliasson (Kopenhagen 05-02-1967), Dan Flavin (Jamaica 01-04-1933, Riverhead 29-11-1996), Jenny Holzer (Gallipolis 29-07-1950), François Morellet (Cholet 30-04-1926) en Centh Wyn Evans (Llanelli 1958).Light Show includes some of the most visually stimulating and compelling artworks created using light since the 1960s, as well as newly commissioned artworks by contemporary artists. Featuring over 25 artists, Light Show takes as its starting point the sculptural use of light as a way of altering our perception of space in contemporary art. Individual artworks featured here explore aesthetic possibilities - colour, duration, black light, shadows, natural and artificial light, projection - through immersive, experiential environments.The use of light as a means of expressing more socially or politically-driven concerns is also addressed, as are the inroads made by cutting-edge technology in contemporary light installation; LEDs, lasers and computer-controlled lighting all make an appearance in these works
