Summary:
This monograph, the first on the work of internationally acclaimed light artist Dietmar Tanterl, focuses on his innovative work with light and space in architectural settings. His collaborations with architects such as Günther Domenig, Kurt Ackermann, HPP, and Peter Schweger are precise interventions of light that fundamentally transform the experience of the spaces. These and other projects illuminate his belief in a "self-reflexive universe where nothing outside the space itself has any relevance to the architectural project." Previously priced at $66.95.

Translated here into English for the first time, this rare story serves as a point of departure for Josiah McElheny, who offers a fascinating array of responses to(...)

Summary:
In 1912, Paul Scheerbart published The Light Club of Batavia, a novella about the formation of a club dedicated to building a spa for bathing—not in water, but in light—at the bottom of an abandoned mineshaft. Translated here into English for the first time, this rare story serves as a point of departure for Josiah McElheny, who offers a fascinating array of responses to this enigmatic work. The Light Club makes clear that the themes of utopian hope, desire, and madness in Scheerbart’s tale represent a part of modernism’s lost project: a world based on political and spiritual ideals rather than efficiency and logic.

Summary:
In making light his primary medium, Dan Flavin (1933–1996) established himself as one of the most innovative and significant artists of the minimalist movement. A new generation encountered Flavin’s work through the critically acclaimed exhibition "Dan Flavin : a retrospective", which opened in October 2004 at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. "Dan Flavin : new light" includes essays that respond to this exhibition and to the renewed interest in Flavin’s work and its place in 20th-century art. In this volume, six leading scholars of contemporary art consider the ambiguities and multiple resonances of Flavin’s light works. Each addresses the ontological complexity of the work –object-based, yet "situational", and painterly in its deployment of colored light – within the insistently sculptural world of minimalism. The book’s contributors interpret this tension by exploring Flavin’s early assemblages, the relationship of drawing to his installation practice, the specificity of his materials and their operation in actual space, and the openly ambivalent place of Flavin’s work within the history of late modernism.

Summary:
Kress & Adams belong to the most renowned offices for daylight and artificial light planning in the German-speaking countries. Amongst their best known lighting projects are the Museums Quarter in Vienna, the ship-building hall in Zurich, the art gallery in Graz and the gas containers in Simmering. One of Kress & Adams´ great strengths is their ability to interpret and express the architect´s spatial vision with light. Their integrated lighting concepts are derived primarily from the architecture whilst taking into consideration the functional requirements. The development of individual light fittings is also an essential part of creating a successful dialogue between architecture and lighting: minimalist and highly expressive forms with a great degree of technical expertise are characteristic of their light designs.
