#art installation
Peter Pabst <WHITE RED PINK GREEN>
The exhibition is inspired by the sets of modern dance stages of the late German dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch, known for her expressionist art. With a blend of movement, sound, and prominent stage sets, and with performers during the development of a piece (a style now known as Tanztheater), her creations became a major influence in the field of modern dance from the 1970s on.
The exhibition runs at Piknic Gallery until 10/27.

L’Atelier
Add this exhibition to your list of Things to do in Seoul this spring!
L’Atelier is an interactive art museum in Dongdaemun! Jump into famous 19th century paintings, enjoy musical shows (we are talking real short musicals!), and even talk to the paintings (any Harry Potter fans out there?)!
You can even walk the streets of Montmartre in the winter and dance in the snowfall! How magical is that? If you like European art and architecture, you are going to love this experience! It’s more than a museum or exhibition! A wonderful combination of art, music, digital installations makes it a unique and fulfilling experience!
We spent a fun evening enjoying the installations, shows and taking photos! Recommend you to check it out! Since it is located in the Dongdaemun area, I would recommend you to pair it up with your shopping spree and DDP visit!
You can get tickets with a discount on Klook.com and funtastickorea.com

One-Way Color Tunnel by Olafur Eliasson
Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has proved over the years that he’s producing some of the most mesmerizing works of art, playing with light and color, challenging his viewers’ perception of space. In 2007, he created a one-way color tunnel, now in the collection of the SFMoMa (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art), installed on a semi-transparent elevated walkway.
“One-way color tunnel is an arched walkway constructed from triangular panels of color-effect acrylic glass and acrylic mirrors. The panels are assembled into a rugged form, with the longest triangles at the base of the tunnel and the shortest triangles forming pyramidal outcroppings on the ceiling. As visitors move through the passageway, they see a fluctuating display of varied hues caused by the color-effect acrylic glass, which changes tone depending on how light strikes it. When they look back, however, instead of seeing the colorful environment they just passed through, they are met with the dull black backs of the panels, with only hints of color escaping through the interstices.”
As visitors move through the passageway, they see the fluctuating effect of light and reflections created by the color-effect acrylic and acrylic mirrors. On one side, the tunnel’s triangular panels seem completely black; from the other end, a multicolored spectrum shines through, changing as the viewers walks by.

‘Men Marched Asleep’ (2018)
Williamson Museum and Art Gallery, Merseyside, CH43 4UE
Nov - Dec 2018
Heritage Lottery Funded
The title of the installation takes its inspiration from the fifth line of the Wilfred Owen poem: Dulce et Decorum Est
…a poem which provides a deeply evocative description of men exhausted by battle but continuing on. It’s a journey-narrative saturated by time-and-toil, regimental history and personal loss during the Great War. This sense of movement is conveyed in parallel by the installation itself as a series of historical objects, personal photographs and artworks created by the local community transport the visitor through an immersive and evocative environment peppered with lines taken from the poetry of Owen alongside a life-size trench.
Serving & former soldiers contributed to a workshop programme alongside members of The Spider Project, a creative arts and well-being recovery community programme.

THE LISTENING STATION (2018)
The Wilson, Cheltenham
1st September - 16th December 2018
Steeped in history yet rooted within the present day, The Listening Station embodies a series of responses to World War One. From archive-based material held within The Wilson to contemporary headlines and current affairs the installation considers conflict in its broadest form.
A shrine to War-and-Peace can be found at the centre of the work, surrounded by flowers, flags and protest placards. Quotes from conversations sit side-by-side with inter-generational drawings, song lyrics are placed next to slogans. A series of banners contain historical artworks which mirror, reflect and repeat, like history, they reveal poignant, political and powerful perspectives.
Through workshops, discussion groups and drop-in sessions lead artist Robyn Woolston engaged with Lives of Colour, the African Community Foundation, Cheltenham Borough Homes, Holst Birthplace Museum, P3, Oakley Community Resource Centre, Hesters Way Neighbourhood Project, Cornerstone Centre and ‘Change, Grow, Live’ as well as library, hospital and leisure centre users.
