Light Installation by: Robert Stadler

Light Installation by: Robert Stadler | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Light Installation by: Robert Stadler at Saint-Paul Saint-Louis cathedral in Paris / Nuit Blanche Paris 2007
Visitors enter the church through a lateral door and first see a scattered group of luminous spheres hovering in the choir. As one approaches the center of the entrance, the spheres form a giant question mark. They become a punctuation mark superposing religious symbols. As one moves through the church, the question mark decomposes. The figure becomes abstracted again in order to echo the figures of hanging cathedral lights. Contrasting the symmetry of the edifice, these luminous suspension points are like a sort of musical notation or holes punctuating the architectural volume. The question (or doubt) is absorbed by the space.

Wela: Light Installation

Wela: Light Installation | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Wela (Elisabeth Wierzbicka): Light Installation in a public garden of 500 decorated tubes and including integrated lighting. The Street Arts Festival, Sottevile-lès-Rouen, 2006

 

A light installation composed of drawings on transparent tubular supports. Drawings, multiplied into several columns, fluttering on the wind, are deployed in spatial and poetic. The installation aims to take the viewer into the imaginary dimension between reality and unreality, between artistic creation and nature, between spirituality and materiality. Involving the relationship with the environment, the work is also measured at the place where it is exposed to the audience and to create a kind of "total art work".

Atsara is a duo of French artists, made by Roland Devocelle and Audrey Rocher, working in the field of visual arts, sound and body from 10 years.

Jean-Bernard Métais: "Valenciennes"

Jean-Bernard Métais: "Valenciennes" | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Jean-Bernard Métais: "Valenciennes", 2007, Place d'Armes, Valenciennes

 

To valorize the location of the Place des Armes, Métais designed a light yet stark structure: a giant needle that points to the sky. Aside from its formal function as a monumental landmark, the work also acts upon the square like a "rumor". The structure is filled with thousands of whispering voices, with words of local significance, secrets shared by people of the city and its surroundings. Whether assembled verbatim, at random, or savantly composed into a surrealist litany, this sea of words draws us to it like a visual magnet. But if you approach and press your ear against the column, you can hear hundreds of different voices telling of time and elsewhere, speaking the words of here and now.

Dennis Oppenheim: "Battle Drums"

Dennis Oppenheim: "Battle Drums" | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Dennis Oppenheim: "Battle Drums", Osnabruck, Germany, 2009. Two elements, Water jet cut corten steel, rotating motor, timer, lights.
The starting point for Battle Drums was the Varus Battle of 9 A.D. which took place near the site.
It is this swirl of death, here shown in revolving light, which underlines the universal outcome of all wars.
The battle was a massive attack employing thousands of spears hurdled into the air which rained on trapped and confused approaching Romans soldiers.
Like a torrential rain storm, long steel spears fell upon the approaching soldiers.
Battle Drums focuses on this action and subjects it to motorized revolutions of a turntable producing an endless pattern of cascading spears over and over again on the Romans figures.

Wela: "Constellation imaginary"

Wela: "Constellation imaginary" | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

Wela (Elisabeth Wierzbicka): light installation "Constellation imaginary", the Futuroscope, Poitiers, 2009

Wela's work consists of a light installation composed of fluid drawings transposed on tubular  translucent supports (50 different works). The drawings, multiplied columns oscillating  with the wind, are deployed in spatial and poetic. The wish of the artist is to bring visitors to develop their imagination between reality and fiction, between artistic creation and nature, or between spirituality and materiality. Playing or contrasting with the site-specific architectures, these structures offer a light and graceful reverie pleasant break between two shows, both day and night.
