Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts: Thursday, 4 September 2008
The Light Project: opening September 4th, from 6-9pm
Join us next Thursday as we celebrate the opening of the Light Project, a series of outdoor light installations presented in conjunction with the current exhibition, Dan Flavin: Constructed Light and organized in collaboration with the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, Saint Louis Art Museum, and White Flag Projects.
The Grand Center neighborhood will be illuminated by four different artworks, each of which is conceived by an artist (or artist team) and utilizes light in uniquely different ways.
Ann Lislegaard's work Crystal World (by J.G. Ballard), is a dual-projection video installation which will be projected on the back of the Pulitzer building.
Rainer Kehres and Sebastian Hungerer's work, CHORUS, will be installed in the burned church on Spring Avenue. It consists of 289 lamps donated by the St. Louis community, which will recreate the missing roof of the church and illuminated with colored lights at night. Photos of the donors with their lamps, along with the stories behind them, can be found online here.
Jason Peters's work, Untitled, is a sculpture of over 1,000 buckets fitted together and snaking through scaffolding in the grassy lot across the street from the Pulitzer. The buckets are internally lit, giving off a warm glow at night.
Spencer Finch's artwork, Sunset (St. Louis, July 31, 2008), includes solar panels installed on the roof of the Contemporary Art Museum, which will power a soft-serve ice cream machine on the sidewalk. The ice cream will be the color of the St. Louis sunset and give out for free.
