Gustavo Avilés |
| |
Gustavo Avilés is an architect
and lighting designer with a professional, academic research and
development approach for technology resources and conceptual design
in México, Europe and the Americas. The relevance of light
for the human culture is vital in his work. His lighting installations
shift not only the appearance of architectural and urban sites,
but they refer to aspects of the evolution of light from darkness
to luminescence and their possible values.

Foundation
Based on profound research on the history
of the city and on the St. Catharinakerk, the lighting installation
‚Foundation’ synchronizes visually the profane and the
religious foundation of Eindhoven: In accordance to the idea that
- not just in the Christian context - a church is a place where
enlightenment is based, the inside of the church is filled with
artificial light which illuminates the colorful stained glass windows.
From the showcases in the pavement in front of the entrance, which
are part of an historical exhibition project, beams of light will
be raised. The facade’s lighting and the voids at the entrances
to the square act as their visual counterparts. In the interplay
with light, architecture, color and time, the appearance of the
building and the square will be transposed to an atmosphere of persistence,
supported by the music composition of Nacho Rodriguez Bach.

The courtyard at the end of the „Smalle
Haven“ turns into a digital green house that hosts an „Ultra
Nature“: Virtual flowers and plants have been cultivated and
will start to grow, to flourish and to die while visitors are moving
in the space. Their various looks, movements, dynamics, lifetimes
and cycles will create a magical scenery which will never be the
same.

Energies as the dynamic forces that
precede the material sphere are the focus of Jan van Munster’s
artistic research and work. His objects and environments show how
energetic dynamics can interfere with reality. His series of “warmth”
installations show how compressed energy makes a wire glow and spread
heat.

Alain Benini and Christophe
Cano |

As architects, Alain Benini and Christophe
Cano use light to distinguish between visibility and darkness, to
play with visibility in between light and darkness, to play with
clearness and hiddenness to reveal generalities as much as particularities,
to define distance and relationships and to engender distinction.
In their poetic and playful approach of architectural space they
change emotional associations of urban sites.

Waterfalls Of Light
A curtain of 40.000 mini light bulbs will cover the facade of the
NRE building where it borders the Eindhoven’s canal. Through
the reflecting effect in the still water the garlands appear to
be extended into the water. The intensity of the lamps varies and
creates diversity in the visual relationship of the architectural
background, the urban surroundings and their lightened aspects.

Achim Mohné’s installations
installations follow the borders of human perception and show how
the transfer of information from one media and/or material to another
causes a modification of the information. He explores the aesthetic
potential of these transfers and shows their visual potential in
laboratory-like installations.

A sign of passing time is the appearance of dust, it seems to be
always in the air and it settles where there is no movement. As
long as it moves it doesn’t enter the realm of visibility
with everyday’s light conditions, but it might appear in a
beam of direct light. Achim Mohné uses a laser as the light
source that detects the moving dust in the air. The search is documented
with a camera and projected onto the three windows of the church.
The stained glass windows partly reflect the projections and partly
let them pass. The result is a cosmic scenery inside the church
as well as in the courtyard outside.

Victoria Coeln |
|
The “Chromotops” is a
series of installations of Victoria Coeln which offer the experience
of being on the edge of the material and immaterial world. Based
on the phenomena that white light is built by a synergy of all colors
she develops environments which appear to be empty as long as nobody
moves in them. By entering the space visitors cause a colorful shadowplay
by moving through the installation. She reveals the magic of color
in light.

Chromotope Paterskerk
The small square in front of the Paterskerk and the Marienhage-complex
will host the Chromotop which Victoria Coeln developed for Eindhoven.
Depending on the visitors and their movements in the light, the
appearance of the colorful shadows will change. The lighting design
of the facade of the Paterskerk will unify visually urban environment,
religious architecture and human activity.

Shine On
The installation stages images of explosions of movies, one followed
by the next one. Their visual appearance and dynamics are multiplied
and mirrored on the projection screens and on the water surfaces
in front of the screens. The kaleidoscopic close-ups of energy,
dynamics and power focus on the moments where destruction and creation
and their fascinating forces meet.

Catacomb is a sound sculpture of the Centre of
Arts Eindhoven (CKE) under the guidance of Joost of the Laar. The
name only already is mysterious, but what takes place also. In the
heart of Eindhoven, on a spot where thousands of people pass daily,
in the middle of the market lies a hidden shelter. A cellar which
once had to offer protection against the feared enemy from the east.
The enemy who never came. In that cellar now youthful musicians
of the CKE conduct a search to harmony. An excursion which brings
them along known and unknown fields of sound. Along barren landscapes
with strident dissonances, along marshes full bagger, along sparkling
water falls and windy valleys, in search of the large three consonance.
On 9, 10, 11, 14 and 17 November, between 21.00 and 22.00 will sound
the siren three times Come to the cellar and live it in: Catacomb! |

of focussing and timing she offers insight into easy-to-overlook,
but fascinating phenomena. In her works the material and the immaterial
spheres deepen their interdependence. In her videoworks she shows

on her fascination for the night as the domaine of darkness where
even the smallest amount of light makes a difference in the human

values of urban architecture.

Phenomena
The lighting intervention “Phenomena” offers a different
point of view of the architectural space and adds to the range of
possible city qualities: The interiors of this better-to-pass-by
spaces are turned into urban furniture and projections of natural
light phenomena use the backside of the buildings as projection
screens. Additional architectural lighting supports the transfer
into an urban hide-away.

aspects of Hans-Peter Kuhn’s interventions which are based
physically on movement, rhythm, frequency and energy. In their ephemer
occurrence the aesthetical composition of his interventions explores
the neighbourhood of sight and sound by touching the horizon of
the human senses and perception and creating visible and vibrant

Lit TV screens, which show nothing
but different colours, are squattered in a dark space. The luminescence
of the TVs and its distribution in space, the various colours of
the numerous screens and their visual extention are part of the
visual composition; audio parts are the site-specific architectural
and technical sounds combined with electronic ones. In their composition
ephemeral and permanent, visual and acoustical aspects interfere
with each other engendering new spatial qualities.

Transformator
The stairwell of “De Bruine
Heer/De Admirant”, the building which inherited its name to
the taller neighbour “De Nieuw Admirant”, was decorated
with a series of stained glass windows by Joep Nicolas (1929). In
their large scale projection “Transformator” Friedrich
Foerster and Sabine Weissinger will not compete with its offering
of a spiritual concept on human progress originating in the “yearning
for light”, but they developed their visuals paying attention
to a few iconic aspects and contemporary aspects of human yearning
for light. The conceptual clues are taken from the building’s
neighborhood’s history as the nucleus of the Philips factories
and the most recent launching of “De Nieuw
Admirant” as the landmark of the “City of Light 2007”.

or to signal. One can literary “write” with light in
many ways. |

and of peace are highlighted as the qualities of life which are
endangered to be forgotten in the contemporary city’s life.

Forest II
The darkness and its opacity, the wilderness of trees and plants,
the movements of bigger and smaller animals as well as wind and
weather make a forest in the night a place which sets free fantasies
and fears. “Forest II” is such an imaginative place.
It is a virtual forest of light, sound objects and hidden observers.
Its technical architecture shapes
the space, the movements of its visitors cause visual effects and
turn
the installation into a living organism where reality and virtuality
meet.
