Pipeline - Issue 50

I denne utgaven

This issue of Pipeline is about Electric Spaces: the pulsing, vibrant art works that embody our modern world’s visions and experiences. It features works connected to electricity effectively, conceptually or aesthetically, that are themselves the locations of a contemporary language informed by technological progress but reflective of human experience. I wanted to work with artists who create charged, expansive works whose presence would reveal a natural connection with the side of our lives dependent on technology and point at the gaps and the overlaps between the values and aspirations of our introspective selves and those of a collective urban civilisation. Often kinetic, they are also characterised by a high degree of autonomy in the way they function and the ways people read them, either because they are site-specific or because they could
easily be standalone pieces. These are artists who create a palpable tension for the audience who experience their art works, shifting perceptions of perspective and time. There are many entry points in the art presented in this issue: neon lights, wired architecture and obsolete tapes, fans, blinds and motors. Even in two-dimensional, non-plugged pieces such as paintings and photography we find an obvious or implied electro-luminescence.
