FESTIVAL OF LIGHT / LUMIERE, DURHAM, UK
Clockwise from top left Crown of Light by Ross Ashton; Plenum by Simeon Nelson explored the complementary accounts of creation found in science and religion; Hartmann Grid by Leonardo Meigas; Spirit by Compagnie Carabosse recalled Durham’s medieval and industrial past with their haunting and magical fire installation inside and around Durham Cathedral
the installation were provided by infrared sensors and spectrum analysers, capturing the surrounding infrastructural / circulation flows of traffic and electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones and radio. In order to underline the two major principles driving the installation - the measuring and propagation of urban flows - the panels were illuminated by two different colours: the red lights, illuminating one side of the panel in eight horizontal lines, displaying the electromagnetic fields of the area whereas

Letzten November kehrte LUMIERE, das größte Lich- terfestival in GB, in die schöne mittelalterliche Stadt Durham zurück. Vier Nächte lang verliehen rund 80 lokale und internationale Künstler, Beleuchtungs- designer und Community-Gruppen der Stadt einen Hauch Winterzauber mit einer atemberaubenden Serie von Installationen und Projektionen, die die Gebäude, Strassen und Brücken von Durham beleuchteten. Schätzungen sprechen von 140.000 Zuschauern in den Strassen Durhams (fast doppelt so viel wie beim ersten Festival 2009), die die 35 Kunstwerke, die Großprojektionen wie Crown of Light mit der Pro- jektion der Lindesfarne Gospels auf die Kathedrale von Durham und Installationen wie I Love Durham, der riesigen Skihalle, die den Marktplatz in einen Spielplatz verwandelte, genossen. LUMIERE 2011 wurde durch das Arts Event Unternehmen Artichoke organisiert und umfasste ebenfalls vier Stücke, die von Künstlern aus dem Nordosten namens Brilliant
the white light, illuminating the edges of the panels, reflected the frequency of people and cars passing by. Perhaps the most mesmerising installation was ‘Les Voyagers’ (The Travellers) by Cédric Le Borgne inspired by the Wim Wenders film, ‘Wings of Desire’. Simply lit wire mesh figures perched on top of buildings, in gardens and floated high in the sky produced an eerie, ethereal experience walking along the South Bailey area of Durham. LUMIERE 2011 was a joy to experience and,

Lo scorso novembre, il LUMIERE, il più grande festval dell’illuminazione del Regno Unito, fece ritorno nella bellissima città medioevale di Durham. Per quattro notti, circa 80(ottanta) artisti locali ed internazion- ali, progettisti dell’illuminazione e gruppi della co- munità, portarono una spruzzata di magico inverno nella città, con una serie di installazioni e proiezioni mozzafiato che illuminarono gli edifici, le strade e i ponti di Durhan. Le stime indicano che 140,000 (centoquarantamila) persone scesero per le strade di Durhan (quasi il doppio del primo festival del 2009), per godere delle 35 (trentacinque) opere d’arte, dalle
based on the reaction from members of the public, shows that the appetite for festivals of light is as strong as ever. The question now is how do Artichoke ensure that the festival can progress whilst remaining safe and comfortable as well as inspiring? In many ways Durham is perfect for a festival of this kind due to its many different styles of architecture and landscape. If only it were a little bigger...

proiezzioni su larga scala come la Corona di Luce, che vide i Vangeli di Lindesfarne proiettati sulla Catte- drale di Durhan, alle installazioni come I Love Durhan (Amo Durhan), la cupola gigante, che trasformò la Pi- azza del Mercato in un parco giochi. Il LUMIERE 2011, organizzato dall’Ente per l’organizzazione di Eventi d’Arte Artichoke, incluse anche quattro sculture create da artisti provenienti dal nord-est, chiamate Brilliant: Mick Stephenson, un costruttore locale; Dan Ziglan e Elliot Brook dell’agenzia di progettazione Deadgood; La Global Curiosity Group, un collettivo di accademici dell’Università di Northumberland; e l’artista visivo Bethan Maddocks che lavora con il progettista di teatro e artista visivo Verity Quinn.
