Light in Art and Architecture Symposium

On the second day of this two-day symposium with contemporary light artists and architectural lighting designers, four of today’s most prominent light artists and lighting designers will present examples of their practice as it enhances, modifies and interprets architecture or creates ephemeral and transitory spaces in their own right.

Anthony McCall, Grimanesa Amoros, Jamie Carpenter and Jean Sundin & Enrique Peiniger of OVI, will present their work and engage in discussion with a Brown faculty member and the audience. A roundtable discussion at the end will explore the future of art and technology.

Site-Specific Installations: Creating with Light with Grimanesa Amoros

Join the National Arts Club in welcoming renowned light artist Grimanesa Amoros. Known for her large-scale public works worldwide, Grimanesa’s lighting sculptures challenge the concept of time and interact with viewers’ perceptions of space. Originating from Lima, Peru, Grimanesa draws inspiration from her cultural background, particularly the ancient civilization motifs and its nature, with a modern perspective. Amoros has worked globally on monumental sculptures as well as works for private collections; her artistic versatility makes her practice unique and provides her with a fresh perspective on lighting and the power of light.

Drawing upon critical cultural legacies and landscapes, Amorós is inspired by the communities she creates within. Installing and programming each piece on-site, direct interaction with the surrounding architecture is key to creating her work. “Ultimately, the piece connects the viewers, space, and light sculpture, merging them into one.” Grimanesa Amorós’ artwork ties the past, present, and future — pushing viewers to think beyond and challenging their initial perceptions.
