LINK TO EXHIBITION OVERVIEW: Transparencies


In a number of works we have worked with the creation of time- and space shifting in a field we describe as metaarchitecture. We are in our space discourse amongst other engaged by the sunlight’s time- and space defining qualities. We are thus interested in creating space shifting by – with a basic move – to transport sunlight from one place to another.

With Window we wish to create a work with an immediate impression of a static, minimal light work; a reworking of amongst other Dan Flavin’s neo tube works. On another level Window establishes itself, through the ever changing transformation, as a semi-window.

Window carries part of a conventional window’s qualities. These are emphasized in a limited field with the intake of light in the architecture but at the same time a lacking of view. Furthermore the work places itself in between a painting and object discourse. It is situated in a constant displacement between being a “window towards the world” (without a view) and a concrete wall object (in constant transformation).
