You are the light

You are the light


Call-out to Artists:

“Light from without. Light from within. The light of my shadow!”

YOU ARE THE LIGHT will be the perfect place for artists to showcase works that explore the theme of “embodiment of light”.

By presenting an exciting and original collection of thoughts and responses to the embodiment of light, our exhibition will escape the traditional “white-cube” narrative to create an immersive experience in which the beholder’s perception oscillates between the tangible and the ethereal.

We invite artists, from multiple disciplines and at any stage of their career. In addition to traditional media, we are particularly interested in live art performance, sound and moving image.

AkiaArt lives and works in Bath. She is interested in the phenomenology of space and the spiritual residue we shed as we move through time and place. Her work flits between different disciplines and is always challenging and sincere.

David Block is a multi-faceted artist based in Paris. His artistic mission is “to put the sound into the visual arts”. He works in the domains of sound, video and dance combined with the plastic arts. His music is “an intriguing electronica soundscape, an aural feast that entrances as much as the dance”.

Together, this dynamic duo will create a vibrant exhibition, celebrating and promoting the artists’ work.
