‘LUMIÈRE’ Group Show at Galerie Jan Wentrup,
Berlin, 2008
Joseph Kosuth, Ange Leccia, Nathaniel Rackowe, Hedi
Slimane, James Turrell: curated by Galerie Almine Rech.
Lumiere will show five artistic positions from the
program of Galerie Almine Pech, Paris/Brussels, where the
medium of light is used in very different ways. Nathaniel
Rackowe frequently workswith kinetic aspects and light
effects that demand from the beholder that he or she move
around the installations in order to fully grasp them.
The objects' performative quality directs the subjects'
perception to a degree where a clear division between the
two starts to blur. By heightening the physical and
psychological experience of space, Rackowe directs our
attention to architecture and its ability to help
structure human actions.
