Spatial Illumination

D Museum, Seoul

D MUSEUM presents Spatial Illumination—9 Lights in 9 Rooms, an inaugural exhibition introducing light art by leading international artists, from December 5, 2015 to May 8, 2016.
The exhibition is comprised of nine separate rooms containing artworks encompassing a variety of genres, including installation, sculpture, video, sound and design. Arranged in the form of a progression from observation of pure light to direct experience of spaces designed to stimulate the senses, the nine works here all take light as their material, using it in a variety of forms and expressions and in combination with other sensory elements such as colour, sound and movement. Light is thus expanded into a medium of diverse properties.

Participating in the exhibition are Carlos Cruz-Diez, one of the world's foremost light artists; Cerith Wyn Evans, a leading figure in British contemporary art; Erwin Redl, whose work has been featured at Whitney Biennial; Paul Cocksedge, who has achieved renown through collaborations with the Victoria & Albert Museum, Flos and others; Flynn Talbot, Philips' Young Lighting Designer of the Year in 2010; Olivier Ratsi, a leading audio-visual artist at Nuit Blanche, one of Paris' top contemporary art festivals; Dennis Parren, creator of Vitra Design Museum's CMYK Lamp; Russia-based creative group Tundra, whose works have appeared at numerous interdisciplinary art festivals worldwide; and emerging Danish design duo Studio Roso.

Through this exhibition, D MUSEUM aims to show the potential of light to evolve as an artistic medium, offering new and unfamiliar stimuli to our consciousnesses and senses. By reawakening us to the meaning and quality of light, it demonstrates the possibilities of expanding from light that we "see," visually and aesthetically, to light that we "experience" physically. With its nine distinct spectra created by light, and its experimental placing of viewers in control of new, spatial light, Spatial Illumination—9 Lights in 9 Rooms offers to open new horizons in light art.

Daelim Museum opened in 1997 as Korea's first dedicated photography museum, based on a vision of bringing the everyday into the realm of art. Since 2006, it has held exhibitions embracing a wider variety of genres, from photography to fashion, design and lifestyle, with the aim of communicating with the general public and developing a new awareness of the meaning and value of art. In 2014, the museum's success in establishing itself as a landmark in central Seoul's Seochon area was underlined by a new record 400,000 annual visitors. In 2015, with the opening of D Museum, we pledge to continue our passionate mission to offer the Korean public easier access to the arts. By establishing the museum as a landmark on Hannam-dong's Dokseodang-ro Street, we hope to grow together with our visitors into a new hub of art and culture.
