All light

The group exhibition “Alles Licht. Light and Space yesterday and today” is dedicated to light as an artistic medium. The starting point is the Californian Light and Space Movement of the 1960s. “Alles Licht” combines historical works and approaches with contemporary artistic positions. The focus is on an intensive exploration of light, space and perception: light is used not only as a medium, but also as a tool to transform spaces and redefine the relationship between architecture, surroundings and viewers. The exhibition explores how the ideas of the Light and Space Movement are being further developed through technological advances and current social issues. The focus is on topics such as climate change, digital perception of space and transience in the Anthropocene. The iconic architecture of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld and works from the collection, such as Dan Flavin’s work “Untitled (For the Vernas on opening anew)”, are actively integrated into the exhibition, creating an immersive experience that unites yesterday and today.
