| Daniel Buren, 5 Squares of Electric Light # 2, 2011 |
Daniel Buren, the artist who has, for over 40 years been making art out of 8.7cm wide white and coloured vertical stripes is showing new work at the Lisson Gallery: One Thing to Another, Situated Works. In the past Buren has made stripes in canvas, plexiglass, aluminium, wallpaper and many other materials. This exhibition features stripes made out of woven fibre optics, as well as A Perimeter for a Room, described as follows by the gallery: The work traces a line following the full perimeter of the space. The horizontal transparent Plexiglas panels coloured with self-adhesive vinyl, lined up sequentially at a set height along the walls, alter our perception of space by introducing a new height within the room and by washing the walls with coloured shadows. While the work uses a familiar vocabulary in Buren’s oeuvre: colour, light and black and white 8.7 cm stripes, A Perimeter for a Room defines an entirely new system in its treatment of interior space that opens the way for new developments.
Judging by the pictures, the whole show looks beautiful.
Listen to Buren talking about his work for Frieze Foundation.
