Incandescent – Light Night
Incandescent – Light Night
Following their successful bid to Hull City Council, Illuminate and the
National Lottery (Awards for All) Hull Art Lab looks forward to very
busy and exciting month showcasing over 10 different artists’ work,
four of which have been specially commissioned pieces to be performed
outdoors around the mouth of the River Hull.
Incandescent is a month of events and exhibitions described by Hull Art
Lab as ‘intellectual fireworks’, Incandescent will use a combination
of art and philosophy to challenge us to question what we assume to be
universal truths.
Incandescent will make its debut with Light Night, an evening of live
art events using light, featuring surprises, quirks and charms. Artwork
will appear through the night of October 6th around the mouth of the
river Hull and the Fruit market area.
Artists featured include :
Karen Logan, who will be using hundreds of small lights (normally used
for night fishing) under the A63 which, when viewed from a particular
position, will form an iridescent line;
Aura Saltz’s Electropathic Lady is filmless cinematic choreography
inspired by the dance films of Loie Fuller;
Harald Smykla, with the aid of an overhead projector, will be drawing
interior surfaces of the former Bonus building on Blackfriargate and
projecting them onto itself.
Ginny Read=92s Wormhole, also in the Bonus building will present black
holes, or light vacuums; in Spectrum (near the tidal barrier), she will
attempt to make a rainbow using mist and light.
Also starting on October 6th will be work by German artist Hermilinde
Hergenhahn who will present Day in Day Out, each day she will collect
video footage from a location behind the central library which will be
projected back onto exactly the same spot that night.
