PROJECT Grids + Lines is a joint exhibition with the Japanese sculptor and designer Akiko Mori. The exhibition focuses on pure form, starting from the simplest visual element — a dot. When the dot is moving, it becomes the line. When a line is multiplying and rotating, it finally becomes a grid. Using the grid as a metaphor for crossing paths and connecting the dots, the exhibition is the first collaboration between the two artists.
My part of the exhibition is the Lines. It consists of straight lines, made of one meter long white glass neon tubes, measuring the walls. It is a simple modular concept, where a ”responsive” line is adjusting itself to the given space, and the total length of each line depends on the length / height of the wall it is installed on. The amount of the one meter long neon tubes equals the length of the given line in metres, so it becomes the title of the work.
