Regarded as one of the most innovative minimalist artists of his generation, Flavin (1933-1996) is best known for creating art almost entirely out of commercially-available fluorescent light tubes.

Although he used everyday materials, Flavin's art is complex in design and often adapted to

fit its specific architectural context.

The show features over forty of Flavin's seminal fluorescent light works, showcasing the chronological development of Flavin's work over the course of thirty years.

His work demonstrates the various means through which he experimented with light, colour, seriality and the coordinates of interior space.

Many of his pieces are specifically dedicated to modernist predecessors and contemporary artists who inspired him, such as Constantin Brancusi, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd and Henri Matisse.

Other dedications reveal Flavin's commitment to the politics of his time, and his attempt to reinvent the genre of the commemorative monument. - Weekend Magazine
