Dan Flavin
Mesmerised by Dan Flavin's neon installations at the Tate Modern.
These rooms seem to attract far more attention than much of the 'traditional' art. Crowds drawn into spaces sculpted by the soft coloured lights. Each room and those within it become the glowing subjects of Flavin's 'proposition'.
Its surely not accidental that these environments of light are made from industrial, prefabricated luminaries.
"I like art as thought rather than art as work" Dan Flavin
From bright fluorescent signage to bland industrial fixtures we
have grown nostalgic for these soft-light glass tubes.
Gelled Kino Flo tubes for a Tigi shoot.
