SpotLights Eindhoven looks at Light Art
This year’s spring, the Light Art Museum in Eindhoven (Kunstlicht in de Kunst) organizes an interactive exhibition. With its own collection as centre point, the museum wants to start up a dialogue with the city of Eindhoven. Various groups will actively contribute to the presentation.
From the 3rd of April the first exhibition that will be part of a series will start. The exhibition SpotLights, Eindhoven looks at Light Art focuses on everybody’s unique way of experiencing art. With the exhibition, the museum tries to explore the different ways in which every individual looks at art. Five works from the museum’s collection will be put in the spotlights and are the starting point for a brainstorm with the citizens of Eindhoven.
The first group that joins the museum in this experiment are pupils from the Rapenland primary school. During the making of the exhibition they were asked to give their opinion about the five selected works. The main question was: what do I see? It’s this same question that visitors will often ask themselves when looking at art. The results of the sessions with the Rapenland school and the input the visitors will give form a central role in the exhibition.
Halfway during the exhibition a second group of citizens will be invited to contribute and share their points of view on the exposed works.
Admission fee: Entrance fee is € 4,50, children € 2,50.
During the exhibitions SpotLights, there are special activities on weekends and May holidays:

Nothing to do on Saturday or during the vacation? Visit one of the workshops!
On Saturday and in the Spring Break there are special workshops for children aged 6 until 12 years old. In the museum the children – under guidance – will start making a shadow play. Apart from the fact that a shadow play is very nice, we will also explore it. How is shadow done? What happens when using other materials? In short, apart from nice the workshop is instructive as well. At the end of the workshop everybody can take his or her own shadow play home!
