Pipilotti Rist in Chelsea, 2/2024

Choosing to be an installation artist, there are few artists to look to for inspiration in that path. For painters, you have the entirety of art history at your disposal. You even have time periods and styles to choose from - realist, abstract, surrealist. An an illustrator, same ball park. Sculpture, you get the idea. Installation art, moreover light installation art, we have from the Light and Space movement of the 1960's. Some would argue, and I'd agree with them, perhaps as far back as Thomas Wilfred, with his Lumia inventions of organs and analog light movements. Those are quite impossible to witness in real life, but we do have Dan Flavin's hypnotic fluorescence and James Turrell's mesmerizing projected color spaces. (Will definitely dedicate a post to those experiences.)

We also have the liquid light projectionists of the 60's and 70's, who are light artists and scientists and magicians in their own right - but can only be experienced when accompanied to a musical act. (Although they are indeed making a comeback outside the venues, as well as analog glitch video artists.)

But even with Flavin and Turrell, as inspirational and astounding their work has been, it almost seemed a bit untouchable to me. Like, if I wanted to paint an Impressionist landscape I can run down to the Met, stare at his gardens and seascapes for as long as I need to, and that would be the motivation I need. Flavin is a bit more consummable but Turrell's work is the complete opposite. You're left more in awe with the mystery of it all. It's more of a feeling, a reaction, an experience - quite hard to replicate. Which is, I'm sure, the point.

In my work, I'd say my paint brush is the projector. i started using projections in my work as a BFA photo student because I felt print and the monitor was too limiting. I needed the image bigger, more inviting. But soon the projection had a mind of it's own. I started noticing the strength of it's luminosity and how it reacted to different surfaces. I loved that it could be abstract or still display recognizable images. I started to remove the white wall altogether, projecting on objects like plastic, glass, fabric. Letting the projection bend and skew, letting it drape over everyday projects. I was a bit shunned in grad school for this method because I wasn't actually making any sculptures with my hands, to the dismay of the sculpture mentor. He had a colorful array of names to describe my installations such as "haphazard", "kitsch" and "tchotchke."

However, it was when I saw Pipilotti's work at MoMA PS1 a few years ago, I was enthralled. She had projections, videos she took documenting little details of life, herself, like a visual moving diary. And it was all projected on different surfaces; there were pillows on the floor to gaze up at the ceiling and watch the projections dance. She had an installation of just underwear. These were all everyday objects that were transformed, living spaces, interiors, made to be something different.

The same way I felt that day was the same way I felt a few weeks ago when I experienced her work again. Just like then, she had whole installations of found objects, memorabilia, tables, plants, glass bottles, fabric. And projections to accompany them all in unique and clever ways. One sculpture in particular was contained in a small wooden box that also acted as a home to the projector itself, hidden, to projection map on small rocks. From the small projections to the large room with projections on a bed and on a rug, she found a way to let us into her world, into her mind.

It was more than inspiring, it was affirming - that my methods for creating light art experiences are valid. Of course any artist can always be more skilled in any capacity, but I don't necessarily have to create my own light fixture to impress anyone; I don't have to world's fanciest, most expensive technology, or the greatest knowledge of coding to get my concept across. I can use what I have, and that's enough. More than enough - the possibilities with a room, a projector, and a few objects are endless.

Entwined: A Nocturne of Light in San Francisco

Entwined is a mesmerizing art installation by Charles Gadeken, first unveiled in 2020 in San Francisco, and it has since become a beloved winter tradition in the city. Each year, it transforms the space with a stunning interplay of light and form, creating an immersive experience that captivates viewers. 

I enjoyed contrasting the installation's vibrant, modern energy with the timeless, classical sound of Tchaikovsky. If you're interested in a different take, you can find the electronic version of this track in the same video on my IG and FB.

Lamps Are Playing A More Important Role In Home Decoration Than Ever Before

Lamps Are Playing A More Important Role In Home Decoration Than Ever Before

When it comes to decorating a home, there are many elements to consider, from furniture and textiles to wall art and accessories. One often overlooked element, however, is lighting. Lamps are playing a more important role in home decoration than ever before, and for good reason.

The right lamp can set the mood of a room, provide task lighting, and add a touch of style to your decor. With so many different types of lamps available, from table lamps to floor lamps and everything in between, there’s a lamp to suit every taste and need.

Let’s explore some of the reasons why lamps are becoming increasingly important in home decoration:

Lighting is essential: Lighting is a crucial element of any interior design scheme. The right lighting can create ambiance, highlight architectural features, and help you see what you’re doing. Lamps are an excellent way to add task lighting to a space, whether you need a reading lamp by your bed or a desk lamp for your home office.

Lamps add style: Lamps are available in a wide range of styles, from traditional to modern and everything in between. A well-chosen lamp can add a touch of elegance to a room or make a bold statement with its unique design. You can choose a lamp that complements your existing decor or use it as an opportunity to introduce a new color or style to your space.

Lamps are versatile: Lamps come in all shapes and sizes, making them incredibly versatile. You can use a floor lamp to provide general lighting in a living room, a table lamp to add ambiance to a bedroom, or a pendant lamp to create a statement piece in a dining room. Lamps can also be easily moved from room to room or even outside, allowing you to change the look and feel of your space with minimal effort.

Lamps are affordable: One of the best things about lamps is that they’re often an affordable way to update your decor. You don’t have to spend a fortune to add a new lamp to your space, and you can often find great deals on stylish lamps at home decor stores or online.

In conclusion, lamps are playing a more important role in home decoration than ever before. Whether you’re looking for task lighting, ambiance, or style, a well-chosen lamp can help you achieve your goals. So why not add a new lamp to your home today and see how it can transform your space?
