Three days countdown! This unusual exhibition of contemporary art is about to meet with the audience.

when light and shadow become art

The art of light and shadow, originated by James James Turrell, uses eddy dynamics, sunlight, ultraviolet light, electric lights, fluorescent lights and LED to carry out a non-traditional device-optical perceptual sculpture and materialized natural light. in more than 50 years of creation, James Terrell has spent all his time exploring the relationship between light and space, the mechanism of visual cognition and people's perception of light. He is good at challenging the audience's sensory cognition between imagination and reality, core and boundary, passive viewing and immersive experience, and skillfully uses light to construct abstract spaces that really exist in reality and can go in and out.

His appearance also influenced a group of young lighting installation artists.

For example, Korean artist Jeongmoon Choi, who uses lighting devices to create a new environment, deceives the audience's brains and causes people to think about analog and digital "position", structure, motion and spatial perspectives.

In the new exhibition "Romeo AI Juliet of the perceptual World" in Beijing, multimedia artist Wang Zhigang interprets the blending and symbiosis of silicon-based life and carbon-based life in the exhibition area "Immortality of Love" with images, installations, lighting, music and other media, and explores the multiple possibilities of future life forms under the AI wave. The abstract narrative images of the scene, intertwined with silicon crystal mimicry lighting devices and music, create a strong sensory resonance, making the audience seem to be in the energy field of life evolution. Explore the emotional ties between people and AI, stimulate the audience to think deeply about the consciousness and emotion of artificial intelligence and the relationship with human beings, and explore the ways of coexistence and interaction between human beings and science and technology.

when installation becomes art

In 1990, artist Damien Hearst presented his work "the Millennium" to the public. In the airtight glass box, he created a cycle of life. In order to survive, the fly must go through the power grid to feed on the cow's head, but at the cost of life. Saatchi later bought the work and later became the best-known patron and promoter of Hearst and YBA (Young British Artists) Art Troupe. Since Hearst created his first steel-framed glass window in 1990, the huge and heavy glass container has become an iconic vision in his work.

Cartland, a famous Italian contemporary artist, made his first international fame when he called out La Nona Ora (ninth hour) at the Museum of Art Basel in 1999, a wax figure of Pope John Paul II hit by a meteorite. His works are based on people and things in the real world, and his works are playful to art and institutions. He places materials, objects and actions in a challenging field in an interesting and provocative way, arousing comments and participation.

Whether it is a playful freeze of a moment that does not exist, or creating a cycle of life and death in a cupboard, unconventional expression brings the audience a very different artistic feeling from traditional art.

In the exhibition area "Secret Love" on the scene of the contemporary art exhibition "the World of perception", the creators designed two large installations: the dresser and the bathroom. Walking into the bedroom, which symbolizes privacy, the girl seems to have just left the dresser, and there are fluctuating water and undulating light and shadow in the bathtub. The audience communicates and talks with their hearts in this field with great sense of life and privacy.

The exhibition area "Drama Life" is also a large-scale art installation, which brings direct feelings through scene-oriented artistic expression, such as the antique desk of the 14th century, the theatrical stage of the 16th century and the modern screen of films spanning the 21 century. The artistic and cultural products of the past six hundred years have been staged together on this theatrical stage, bringing unlimited imagination to the audience.

when everyday becomes art

Dan Flavin, the "fluorescent sculptor" (Dan Flavin), is the first artist to use commercially available fluorescent lamps to make sculptural objects and art installations, and is also a leader in using fluorescent tubes as a single medium to explore art. His lighting sculptures strictly study the forms and concepts of space and light, and arrange commercial fluorescent tubes into different geometric compositions. He thinks this material connects art and life.

In the new immersive exhibition "Romeo AI Juliet", the "AI Garden" area consists of a light beam of dandelion lights hanging from the sky, combining technology with natural elements, guiding the audience to explore the wonderful moments of life with their senses, creating a magical and healing landscape of the future. Show a light flying posture, render a quiet and leisurely natural interest. Here the cold white light shows the natural softness, and here we feel the joy and healing brought by the beautiful moment.

more possibilities of installation art

The public sculpture created by Anish Kapoor (Anish Kapoor), a famous global contemporary artist, is very pioneering in form and engineering, as well as changeable in size and material. With his simple shape and huge size, he creates a fascinating atmosphere, and the dark areas refracted and created by his works evoke the mysterious feelings of the audience. The surface with touch and reflection is like an inexplicable attraction, inviting the viewer to participate in the work. Cloud Gate, located in Century Park in Chicago, is one of Anish Kapoor's masterpieces. The urban landscape of Chicago is projected onto the bean, and its Radian, bump, and image reflection give the viewer a broader and wonderful feeling after embracing the surrounding scene.

Installation artist Olafur Eliasson is also very good at making large art installations using light, mirrors, etc., creating a different atmosphere through special materials and interactive design with space.

The "Matrix swing" area of the new Beijing exhibition "perceptual World" consists of 15 metal swings to form a large space art installation, and the wall vaguely reflects everything in the space in the fog. Through the dual symbolic meaning of the same element in space, it shows the intersection of human emotion and the beauty of science and technology in the same time and space, and explores the aesthetics of science and technology in the post-digital era. Taking into account both the matrix representing AI rationality and the ever-changing matrix of human emotion, it is endowed with another layer of meaning-the symbolic embodiment of science and technology in space, which shows the beauty of order and symmetry, which further extends the expression of science and technology aesthetics in space. It conveys a different romantic atmosphere in this space.
