A New Installation by Carsten Nicolai at Siobhan Davies Studios
LONDON.- This spring the renowned multi-disciplinary artist Carsten Nicolai has created a site specific light installation for Siobhan Davies Studios in South London . Made from neon tubes and mounted on the façade of the building, monitor serves as a link between the space within the building and the outside world.
As Carsten Nicolai says: “Siobhan Davies Studios are interesting in that if you walk past the building, you have no idea what is happening inside. I thought this would give some idea. monitor is sound-controlled. When events occur inside, they are reflected in the light activity of the installation”.
