La celosía de cemento blanco conforma, junto al núcleo rígido de cada torre, la estructura del proyecto. Pero además, esa profunda y profusa caligrafía de hormigón calada es la defensa sostenible del edificio, que evita que el inmueble se caliente con un exceso de sol

Nelson-Atkins

Steven Holl is recognized for his ability to blend space and light with great sensitivity

Infused with Light


A large reflecting pool incorporating an installation by artist Walter De Maria graces the entry plaza. During the day natural light is directed through 34 circular lenses in the pool into the parking garage below. At night, light from the parking garage lifts up through the circles to illuminate the plaza.

The Bloch Building features a stunning lobby and soaring curved walls. The galleries’ floors drop in harmony with the slope of the south lawn. In opposition, as each gallery level steps down, the ceiling of that level peaks into a glass-enclosed lens that rises above the ground level.

By day, light is reflected into galleries below. At night, gallery lights will glow softly through the mix of translucent and transparent glass panels, like Japanese lanterns illuminating the Sculpture Park.

The primary medium of Californian artist James Turrell is light.

Probably the best-known artist in his field, Turrell's entire oeuvre since the 1960s has been devoted to exploring the diverse manifestations of this immaterial medium and working towards a new, space-defining form of light art.

While light here refers to nothing beyond itself, it causes surface, colour and space to interact and allows viewers to immerse themselves in a mysterious, painterly world.

Occupying a central place in James Turrell's oeuvre is the Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in the Arizona desert which the artist has been transforming into an observatory since 1974. Building upon the cosmic aspects of this quiet, meditative place, Turrell is creating the worldwide largest museum installation he has made to date at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, producing a light-filled space of experience in the tradition of his Ganzfeld Pieces.

Making full use of the adaptable architecture system of the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg - unique within the German museum landscape - his installation will be an exploration of space and light: immaterial and material at once.

The timelessness and fascination of James Turrell's works derives from his incredible skill at capturing fleeting light and giving it the visual presence and tactile density of a physical body.

Jenny Holzer


Francesco Lo Savio


"Metallo nero opaco uniforma articulazione di superficie paraferica estroversa"
1961
92 x 200 x1 2.5 cm

Muy preocupado por la luz y la instalación, sus esculturas, pinturas, monocromas y trabajos sobre planchas de metal están influenciados por Lucio Fontana. Al borde de la monocromía, hizo las pinturas tituladas Spazio-Luce, las investigaciones que titula Filtri y también los fantásticos Metalli, cuyo negro profundo combina pintura y escultura, con pliegues y curvas casi barrocas para jugar de modo extraordinario con la luz.
