skuggteckningar

Skuggteckningar (Shadow-drawings) are flat ephemeral sculptures, a kind of “snapshot” of the past.

Robert Ek, b. 68, works with images, installations and machinisms.

RGBeam

RGBeam consists of red, green and blue plastic stretch-wrap stretched sequentially between the building’s beams.

Ben Colebrook lives with his wife and daughter in New York City and upstate New York, where he reflects on culture and nature by the simplest means necessary.

From our contemporary perspective, the Flour Mill, stripped of its original function, feels so distant from our nascent digital age. It represents a beautifully crafted effort, unpretentious solidity and physical human effort. The Flour Mill’s massive beams are here juxtaposed with low-tech attempt at creating video screen/projector light.

Rolls of red, green and blue stretch-wrap, an industrial packaging material, are deployed and layered to create a subtle shift in color and glassy reflective qualities. The deep shadows resulting from the thrifty paucity of windows amplify the plastic’s qualities, transforming the ordinary material into an ephemeral ‘beam of light’. The re-purposing of the industrial plastic is like an inexpensive emulation of digital video reproduction and as it fails in its realism, so the typical simulacra, remains authentic.

The Red Mill

The Red Mill is a light sculpture on the outside of the building, visible at twilight and dusk on the front side of the building the windows create a triangle of red light.

Elaine Buckholtz is an artist with a background in lighting design and light based installation. Her work explores the medium of light as both an ephemeral phenomenon and as an intervention to unmask hidden aspects of architectural forms found in urban settings and landscapes.

Spirit of the Beehive

Spirit of the Beehive “It’s that honeyish light and the stuffy wooden atmosphere of the building (I imagine), that I was beginning to see. There will be flies anyway no doubt.”

Luke Lowings has created a unique body of work that spans the boundaries of art, architecture and engineering with examples all over the world.

Wes Heiss is a visual artist and designer whose work explores humanities relationship with technology.

This is an old technology that, because it’s so simple, never gets old. A collection of different transparencies can be moved over the surface to create a short looping animation with a 3D quality to it. It requires being active and in the present to see them.

Light Studies

Light Studies plays with reflected, refracted, diffuse and specular light; placed near sun-filled windows, these elemental pieces have a complex presence that changes with both the angle of daylight and the position of the viewer.
