Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 8, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted January 8, 2020 I don't know, but I do know I like Dan Flavin's stuff, which is somewhat reminiscent in the use of colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg MacPherson Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Working with light and lights as objects in an assemblage has been a fun thing for sculptors for a while. Locally famous DoP Leon Narby was a sculptor working with light/installation before he got into film. Our sculpture class in 1981 saw a small exhibition by a then fairly obscure (English?) sculptor. Installations using light generating objects (lights). Notable was a suitcase penetrated by a fluro tube, called "Traveling Light". I think some of the breakaway sculptors/conceptualists in the early 20th century were into puns. A minefield of nonsense perhaps, that others were compelled to follow.

Joshua Linder Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A lot of people thought the Drake 'Cellphone' Music Video evoked a Turrell feeling. James Turrell exhibitions imo are so cool. I've seen quite a few Light Sculpture pieces and there's a bunch on instagram, ie #lightart or with events light the copenhagen light festival. Turrell pieces are particularly enjoyable to me because he is creating an experience of mood and colors, not so much about making it about the light. But I also enjoyed a piece by a Chinese artist who directly placed fluorescents on stands to make a larger statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
