Light art exhibition with Mischa Kuball at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld
Opening: Friday, 2025/14/11, 6:30 pm I Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Bielefeld /DE
Alles Licht. Light and Space gestern und heute focuses on the Californian Light and Space Movement of the 1960s. In Light and Space, light is used in a completely new way as an artistic material. Artists of this movement developed a fundamentally new understanding of light, space, and perception.
The exhibition provides insights into the development of the artistic use of light from the visionary experiments of the 1960s to the present day. Historical positions and current works by contemporary artists engage in dialogue with one another.
The architecture of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld is part of this dialogue: with its clear formal language, striking lighting, and interplay between interior and exterior, it opens up a space in which light is not merely an optical phenomenon. Light is material, a tool of perception, and a critical medium all at once. In this context, the exterior façade is expanded to include Mischa Kuball's light installation my absence is your presence (2023).
Other artists in the exhibition: Angela Bulloch, Mary Corse, Olafur Eliasson, Nancy Holt, Robert Irwin, Craig Kauffman, Nicole Miller, Tatsuo Miyajima, Helen Pashgian
