Astrup Fearnley Museet | Oslo

Grammars of Light | 6. Februar – 10. Mai 2026

Grammars of Light vereint drei Künstler:innen, die die Räume des Astrup Fearnley Museet durch immersive Lichtinstallationen verwandeln: Cerith Wyn Evans, Ann Lislegaard und P. Staff manipulieren künstliches Licht – Technologien wie digitale Projektoren, elektrifiziertes Neongas und programmierbare LEDs –, um die Bewegung der Besucher:innen zu beeinflussen und zu choreografieren. Ihre Arbeiten reagieren dynamisch auf die umgebende Architektur und verweisen zugleich auf andere gebaute Formen und Strukturen. Lichtsäulen vervielfältigen sich über der Glasdecke des Museums, kristalline Formen umhüllen das modernistische Gebäude, und holografische Ventilatoren schaffen einen Korridor intensiver Leuchtkraft.

Astrup Fearnley Museet | Oslo

Grammars of Light | February 6 – May 10 2026

Grammars of Light brings together three artists who transform the spaces of Astrup Fearnley Museet through immersive light installations: Cerith Wyn Evans, Ann Lislegaard, and P. Staff manipulate artificial light – technologies such as digital projectors, electrified neon gas and programmable LEDs – to impact and choreograph the movement of visitors. Their works dynamically respond to the surrounding architecture as well as incorporate references to other built forms and structures. Light columns are duplicated across the glass ceiling of the museum, crystalline forms envelop the modernist building and holographic fans create a corridor of intense luminosity.
