Program #FLVfromhome for the week of April 6:
“Observatory of light", Work in situ by Daniel Buren, installation presented from 11 May 2016 to 2 May 2017
(2017, 24 min., French version with English subtitles)
In line with Fondation Louis Vuitton’s commitment to contemporary creation and encouragement of innovative encounters with its architecture, the Fondation Louis Vuitton presented from 11 May 2016 to 2 May 2017 a temporary work by Daniel Buren. Developed in close dialogue with Frank Gehry’s building – whose architecture serves as an inspiration to artists - “Observatory of Light” was installed across the glass ‘sails’, the emblematic feature of the building.
The twelve ‘sails’, formed of 3,600 pieces of glass, were covered by a staggering array of coloured filters that are in turn punctuated, at equal distances from one another, by alternating white and blank stripes perpendicular to the ground. The thirteen selected colours made coloured forms appear and disappear, ever-changing with the time of day and the season. Through a play of colours, projections, reflections, transparencies and contrasts, both inside and outside, Daniel Buren showed this building in a new light.
The exhibition film shows the preparation and spectacular assembly of Daniel Buren’s installation. The artist along with Suzanne Pagé, artistic director of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, and Nicolas Paschal, engineer, reflect on the origins and assembly of the project.
Chief curator: Suzanne Pagé
The film on Daniel Buren’s installation, “Observatory of light. Work in situ", is available Wednesday 8th of April at 6 p.m. (Paris CET): https://youtu.be/0DGxFxkn-8c
Video available one week after its upload.
