Light & Space Movement - Robert Irwin, Helen Pashgian, James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson

After a hiatus of 8 months Jackson and Antony are back talking Light, Cities and Architecture.  In this episode they talk about The Light and Space movement emanating from California in the 1960’s.  Together they discuss the work of Robert Irwin, Helen Pashgian and James Turrell.  With obvious links to architecture these artists redefined art in the 20th century to be a sensory experience that broke free of the boundaries of the canvas and became installation pieces in different locations around the world. The impact is still being felt today with artists like Olafur Eliasson and even Kayne West being both influenced and supporters of the work.

Om Podcasten

Light: Cities and Architecture is an exploration of architecture and urban design since the invention of electric lighting. The initial aim of the podcast is to explore how developments in lighting technology have influenced the built environment. Jackson Stigwood (Lighting designer at A Billion Suns) and Antony DiMase (Lead architect at DiMase Architects) will look at key figures in both lighting design and architecture to understand the relationship between cities and light. Changing direction, Antony will now be interviewing distinguished guests on the theme Design More to Consume Less.
