Works of Art in Lighting by Flavin, Kowanz, Morellet, Nannucci
About
Appropriately at the start of the dark season of the year, the rooms of the Weishaupt Kunsthalle shine brightly in the variegated colours of fascinating works of art in lighting from the collection. Dan Flavin’s unadorned strip lights seem to create a completely new experience of the room with the light they cast; in Maurizio Nannucci’s lettering his inclination for concrete poetry becomes evident. In Franҫois Morellet’s work fluorescent tubes create a bond with the canvas in place of the line as an element in painting. Brigitte Kowanz analyses qualities of lighting; her work encompasses spacious installations, specific forms as well as concealed Morse symbols and messages in neon lighting.
