Shedding Light

The uses of light in creative disciplinesShedding Light shows how different creative disciplines use light, looking at more than 300 lighting objects. Across the fields of design, art, graphics and photography, the technology of light is explored here as a tool, as a means of experimentation and as a way to convey emotion. Light-art works by Bruce Nauman, Dan Flavin, James Turrell, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Olafur Eliasson and Philippe Parreno sit alongside architectural experiments in light by Daniel Schlaepfer; photographs by Hélène Binet, Paul Graham and Hiroshi Sugimoto are included alongside graphic design by Paula Scher, Huw Morgan, Leonardo Sonnoli and a huge array of lamp and lighting designs.
