Lighting Dan Flavin's life
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has been flooded with light and colour for "Dan Flavin: A Retrospective". LACMA is the last stop of the exhibition's world tour running until August 12.
Although he used everyday materials, Flavin's art is complex in design and often adapted to
fit its specific architectural context.
The show features over forty of Flavin's seminal fluorescent light works, showcasing the chronological development of Flavin's work over the course of thirty years.
His work demonstrates the various means through which he experimented with light, colour, seriality and the coordinates of interior space.
Many of his pieces are specifically dedicated to modernist predecessors and contemporary artists who inspired him, such as Constantin Brancusi, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd and Henri Matisse.
Other dedications reveal Flavin's commitment to the politics of his time, and his attempt to reinvent the genre of the commemorative monument. - Weekend Magazine
