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.
