The blog today is presented by:
Since 1986, Art Gallery 11-12 has been sponsoring and disseminating historic and contemporary Arts in Costa Rica. The gallery has a vast experience and a reputation gained thanks to the efforts of its directors, who have devoted special attention to the sale of guaranteed original art. We welcome collectors to the permanent exhibition of historical and contemporary Costa Rican artists.
The exhibition: Art Objects, Light Objects, Light Art, is the name of the new art showcase that the Costa Rican Art Museum and the National Theater galleries, which uses artificial light as a theme.
This proposal seeks to bring a series of national artwork exhibits to the public that combine contemporary and classic art.
The initiative stems from curator Luis Chacon’s idea of convening 18 artists from Costa Rica to explore the fantastic and little explored world of light art.
This trend is in vogue in many of the recognized international art galleries and offers an innovative idea in the country.
Among the materials that are displayed in this exhibition are videos, three-dimensional objects, wooden pieces, photographs and paper, among others, with the use of light.
The intent is to create bright objects and spaces and even illuminate complete landscapes. For Chacon, artificial light offers another way to see the art, in which viewing an object can be more interesting and closer to the viewer.
Luis points out that this is the first time something like this is being tried in Costa Rica, but in the rest of the world it is already considered the trend of the twenty-first century.
Among the artists participating are Adrian Gomez with Chromatic Projection, Carlos Mata with “La Vida es como te la tomas, Coca Cola Light” (Life is how you “drink” it, Coca Cola Light) and Mirta Castro with “El Corazon de la Tierra,” (The Heart of the Earth).
In this way, these artists rise to the height of Dan Flavis, father of the movement or James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson, among others.
Luis Chacon was afraid that 30 years would pass by without the movement arriving in Costa Rica, which is why he looked for a way of planting the idea in the country.
According to him, it is intended that these creations will inspire young artists, so that they might decide to venture out and develop the light art in the country.
