Luminant Point Arrays

Photograph of the moment a television is turned off by Stephan Tillmans.

The Luminant Point Arrays show tube televisions in the moment they are switched off. The television picture breaks down and creates a structure of light. The pictures refuse external reference and broach the issue of the difference between abstraction and concretion in photography. The breakdown of the television picture describes the breakdown of the reference. The product is self-referential photography.

One and Three Chairs, by Joseph Kosuth

File:Kosuth OneAndThreeChairs.jpg
One and Three Chairs, 1965, is a work by Joseph Kosuth

An example of conceptual art, the piece consists of a chair, a photograph of this chair, and an enlarged dictionary definition of the word "chair". The photograph depicts the chair as it is actually installed in the room, and thus the work changes each time it is installed in a new venue. Two elements of the work remain constant: a copy of a dictionary definition of the word "chair" and a diagram with instructions for installation. Both bear Kosuth's signature. Under the instructions, the installer is to choose a chair, place it before a wall, and take a photograph of the chair. This photo is to be enlarged to the size of the actual chair and placed on the wall to the left of the chair. Finally, a blow-up of the copy of the dictionary definition is to be hung to the right of the chair, its upper edge aligned with that of the photograph.

Tokujin Yoshioka


Artist, Architect, and Designer Tokujin Yoshioka creates fascinating designs from crystals, and unconventional materials.

venus_chair_01.jpg

Beautiful works such as the Venus Chair are created with fibers suspended in tanks, slowly allowing the crystals to grow and form the object. Tokujin states that the forms emerge gradually overtime such as the goddess Venus herself gradually emerges from water.

By allowing the structure to evolve naturally, he creates what he calls "beauty born of coincidence."

Destiny, Moonlight, Unfinished are 2-dimensional works employing the growth of crystals, and how that growth is effected by the different music played during the growing process.

"Completed by the laws of nature and embodying a beauty born of coincidence, the crystals in “Destiny”, “Moonlight”, and “Unfinished” form in different ways, “responding” to the sound in the aquarium, where Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 (the “Symphony of Destiny”) and Piano Sonata No. 14 (the “Moonlight Sonata”) is played." -(Dezeen)




Chair that disappears in the Rain, was a concept created with a similar idea to that of crystal or glass dropped into water; the outlines of these objects gradually disappear, the chair has a similar effect. And thus the idea for "Chair that disappears in the Rain" was born. Installed as a streetscape project, individuals are allowed to interact with the piece.
