Amsterdam Light Festival Returns in Netherlands

Tom Biddulph and Barbara Ryan

The Amsterdam Light Festival has returned, and with it, a startling new set of light-based public works are on display through Jan. 19. “Disturbance lies at the heart of the exhibition of the eighth edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival with its theme 'DISRUPT!'” the event says. “Artists, designers, and architects were challenged to question, test and shake up Amsterdam in alignment with the theme.” Photos by Janus van den Eijnden.

Os Gemeos started their year off with an installation that has become part of the permanent collection of Museu Casa do Pontal in Rio de Janeiro. The twin artists created a sculpture inside of a concrete, military-style bunker featuring one of their signature characters. They painted the walls of the structure with images of a crumbling city. While the imagery evokes Brazil's growing poverty problem, Os Gemeos created the work as a response for the current state of Museu Casa do Pontal, an important folk art museum on which endless construction projects have encroached. The bunker, created in collaboration with Pascali Semerdjian Arquitetos, symbolizes a fortress protecting the museum's art collection and legacy.
Sarah A. Smith has a particular set of drawings that merit notice for their expressive qualities. Her subject is the natural world. The compositions are dynamic and fluid, coiled in mid-strike. If you didn’t know they were drawings, you might think they were dioramas. Subject matter includes eagles and wolves, trees and shrubs. Sometimes there’s a drawing of an eagle, sometimes there’s one of a wolf. Sometimes the two are locked in combat though, as in Eagle Vs. Wolf, you can only see the wolf responding to the eagle overhead. The work is dynamic. The shapes are sharp and angular. They look like lightning bolts. If you could rub the head of the eagle or the wolf, you’d feel its coarse texture. Likewise with the bark of the trees: rub it and you’d get splinters. The scenes offer voyeuristic views of the natural world in its rawest element. It’s a perilous, zero sum world. Its narrow color palette suggests bleakness.
If there’s anyone whose work could convey the experience of tetrachromacy, it’s Markus Linnenbrink. The multi-disciplinary artist’s trippy installations and paintings might take those with average vision closer to experiencing a condition where the affected see millions more colors on the spectrum than most human beings. However, Linnenbrink’s drips and strips of colors aren’t a result of a biological condition but rather an aesthetic preference (besides, tetrachromacy only affects women).
Chris Engman brings nature into indoor environments with a meticulous process of placing sections of a photograph across different sections of a room, establishing one unifying image by the end using the unnatural contours. Recent work lets enough of the containing space slip through so that the landscape and the manmade structures show through.
