¡BRIGHT!

Exhibition | November 25, 2017 – April 11, 2018

A curious journey between nostalgia and the future

Following the success of ¡DARK! (2015/16), the Centre for International Light Art Unna is now presenting the radiant special exhibition ¡BRIGHT!, featuring fascinating objects and installations by Pedro Cabrita Reis, Björn Dahlem, Molitor & Kuzmin, and Volkhard Kempter.

John Jaspers, director of the museum since 2012, is enthusiastic about the special commitment of the participating artists – but advises visitors to bring along their sunglasses, since – in radical opposition to ¡DARK!, for which a pocket torch would have come more in handy – the works on view in ¡BRIGHT! confront visitors with the glaring white light of countless neon­ tubes and fluorescent lamps.
