Brigitte Kowanz - in light of light
The installations of Austrian artist Brigitte Kowanz (born 1957) use neon signs and mirrors to create luminous semiotic environments. This artist's book records works from the late 1990s to the present, in a novel layout that expands on the sign-based character of her work.
Brigitte Kowanz
Since the early 1980s, Austrian artist Brigitte Kowanz (born 1957) has been exploring neon light effects in works for walls and room installations. Her earliest light works were three-dimensional pictures made of neon, which emitted a phosphorescent light that caused the picture to appear to expand. This volume surveys her considerable body of work.
Brigitte Kowanz
The former industrial site of the Glanzstoff (St. Pölten, Austria) is now about to be redefined, a process that will be initiated by Brigitte Kowanz with her light sculpture. "Brigitte Kowanz has conceived and constructed 'Fountain', a stunning sculpture of bending light. It is an arching thick line of solid light. Theoretically, solid light is possible, but it is impossible at this scale and magnitude." (Michael Rotondi).

Contemporary French Art: Eleven studies
Ben Vautier, Niki De Saint Phalle, François Morellet, Louise Bourgeois, Alexandre Hollan, Claude Viallat, Sophie Calle, Bernard Pagès, Jean-Pierre Pincemin, Annette Messager, Gérard Titus-Carmel: eleven major French artists of the last forty years or so, examined in the light of their uniqueness and their rootedness, the specificities of their differing and at times overlapping plastic practices and the swirling and often highly hybridised conceptions entertained in regard to such practices. Thus does analysis range from discussion of the feisty, Fluxus-inspired, free-spirited funkiness of Ben Vautier's work to the various modes of transcendence of trauma and haunting fear generated by th...
Light Up – The Potential of Light in Museum Architecture
Dynamic artificial light in museums In galleries and museums, one’s perception of art, space, and atmosphere is largely determined by lighting. But which light settings should art and museum experts and exhibition designers choose, and on what basis are those choices made? Pioneering LED technologies make customized lighting scenarios possible, turning artificial light into an interactive material in museum architecture – not only in terms of design practice, but also in terms of real-time spatial experiences. Computer-controlled lighting technologies are breaking boundaries, allowing the individual to take full control of lighting design. Light Up explores the potential of dynamic artificial lighting technologies in museum architecture, offering new insights into the use of light in exhibition spaces. How LED technologies can be used to develop customized lighting scenarios Studies in the real context of art institutions as well as programming of interactive light simulations Documents the research project “White Cube Teleporter”
The Belvedere: 300 Years a Venue for Art
Anniversary publication of the Belvedere The Belvedere in Vienna epitomizes the changes that have taken place over the course of three centuries in the concept of what constitutes a museum. Originally built by Prince Eugene of Savoy to enhance his prestige as a prince, under Maria Theresa, the Upper Belvedere became one of the world’s first public museums. The idea of presenting Austrian art in an international context, which in 1903 motivated the establishment of the Modern Gallery in the Lower Belvedere, remains the key objective of this world-famous cultural institution. In this critical homage, renowned authors explore enduring questions that transcend the different epochs, such as : W...
