Title: Light Show - Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London
Post by: Pengi on April 24, 2013, 07:41:29 PM
My meetings in town finished early today so finally got around to going to this exhibition

Light Show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY5BHWYlDIo#ws)

The link gives an idea of the exhibits but some, like Shawcross's Slow Arc inside a Cube IV and Cruz-Diez's Chromosaturation, are full room displays and walking into them is amazing. I found the exhibition to be stunning and has given me some inspiration for some lighting effects on my layout.

The exhibition is so popular that is has been extended until May with many days being sold out

Lovely Pengi, wish I'd have known it was on when I was in the UK, thanks for posting.

Background music by Isao Tomita if I'm not mistaken, got the LP somewhere.

I am envious of you going to that exhibition Pengi, I bet it was very good and a feast for the eyes  :goggleeyes:


You are correct Caz, a blast from my past as well  :D

Very cool Pengi.  It's a bit too far for me.  I miss the London galleries.  :(

Also went to this, several years ago, stayed there for hours soaking up the 'sun'. Beyond my skills to do something like this on the layout and I do prefer night - sunset/dusk might be possible though

I find the commentary on the link a bit annoying though
