New show at Lachenmann Art Konstanz 15/3/2024 - 20/4/2024
With the exhibition ›Constantia‹ Peter Vink captures the essence of the historical era of the city of Constance in an oversized light installation entitled ›Porta de Constantia‹ (›Door of Constance‹). In his second solo exhibition at Lachenmann Art, a portal made of luminous LED arches, which reflects a relevant architectural-historical element of the city of Constance, takes centre stage. This unique contemporary light installation transforms the Constance gallery space into an immersive experience that transports the viewer back to the historical past of Castella Constantia.
As part of his artistic methodology, Peter Vink focusses on building a relationship between the given space and light art. He endeavours to capture the genius loci - the spirit of the space - with his elaborate light constructions. The outlines of individual bricks are the elements he has selected and are an integral part of the buildings of 'Porta de Constantia'. As the main element of his light art, Peter Vink not only interprets the historical artefacts of the city of Constance in his work, but also plays with the architectural elements of his perceived surroundings. In this case, he allows the arched windows and columns of the gallery rooms to merge with his artwork.
Peter Vink is known for creating a dialogue between space and art. The use of materials and the structure of his artworks are particularly impressive. The artwork 'Porta de Constantia', for example, consists of 500 illuminated LED light strips on a total of 250 m long aluminium strips. The individual LED outlines were prefabricated in his Amsterdam studio. The actual work of art was created directly on site over a period of several days, with a total labour input of over 700 hours.
Following the success of the solo exhibition at Galerie Lachenmann Art in Frankfurt in 2023, the current artwork will once again be accompanied by technical sketches, which will be available in a strictly limited edition. In addition, the exhibition will be enriched by individual small light objects, which represent single bricks, extracted stones.
Peter Vink was born in 1974 in Bilt in the Netherlands and graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Famous for his monumental light installations in public and private spaces, Peter Vink has recently wowed visitors to the Amsterdam Light Festival. He regularly receives commissions from public institutions, such as the Dutch government's building department.
