 The purpose of
the lectures is not to address only
professionals and artists, but everybody interested in creativity and
lighting
as well. Their aim each year is to expose individual views of
creativity,
exploration, to present individual authors and their experience,
festivals and
their specifics. An informal debate is encouraged; the evening will be
concluded by the play Luminosa.
Art of Light - Art of Night - Superflux festival Roxana
Ploestean introduces the SUPERFLUX Festival by
the Roger Tator Gallery from Lyon and its
integration in the gallery and broader social environment. Artistic
light
festival SUPERFLUX takes place in Lyon since
1999, as a part of the notorious Lyon’s
festival of light Fete des Lumières. Our
guests are the founders of the gallery, designers Eric Deboos and
Laurent
Lucas.
The Roger Tator
Gallery created in 1994 by Eric Deboos
and Laurent
Lucas (designers) is an experimental place at the crossroad
of different artistic expressions, design, contemporary art, proposing
a transversal
point of view of every project. In this respect, each exhibition
presents
original works adapted to the space of the gallery.
Since 1999, SUPERFLUX
presents artistic
works in the
urban space, using lightning as expression, in order to confront them
with more
visitors and inhabitants.
Every year
during three nights in December, at the
occasion of the Fête des Lumières
(the 8th of December), more than forty artists, representing
different fields of expression: design, video, architecture and
landscape
architecture, graphics or photography, are invited to invest the
streets of the 7th district of the city
of Lyon, in the neighborhood of the Roger Tator Gallery. The
works are exposed in more than 30 different places: artists’ workshops,
store
windows, design and architecture offices, restaurants, pharmacies,
travel
agencies…
Light, place and social construction - presentation of Jean-Charles Paumier’s work The presentation will be made by Thierry Boutonnier, artist himself and collaborator of Jean-Charles Paumier. Fluorescent Densities - Alessandro
Lupi reveals his views and experience of light exploration and
its appearance.
Architectural lighting and
inspiration from nature
by Marjeta Zupančič - "As
most of creatures on Earth, man too had been growing under the light of
the Sun
for millennia. But this did not only influence the development of eyes,
other
main senses were affected as well, e.g. fear of the dark, good mood in
sunny
weather and season depressions (common in Nordic countries where
darkness
reigns for longer periods of time) The biological fact is that natural
lighting
circumstances are of grave importance for man. The ever changing nature
itself,
is of course an endless source of inspiration. Scenes exchange from
dusk till
dawn, even when the Moon revolves and reflects the light of the Sun
towards
Earth. Each day is different and each moment is a unique, non-recurring
composition of light and shadow."
All short lectures in English; Alessandro
Lupi's lecture in Italian with
