Last weekend saw a confluence of occasions
that brought together a few of my favourite things…
ART.
On Friday evening Nina and I went to the
Hayward to see LIGHT SHOW. This is a sensory, almost spiritual, literally and
otherwise dazzling exhibition of works that all use and explore light as a medium
and an experience.
Dan Flavin, untitled (to the "innovator" of Wheeling Peachblow), 1966-68 |
The expected big guns were there – early 1960s fluorescent
pioneer Dan Flavin, Jenny Holzer with her flashing electronic signs conveying a
whirr of political messages.
