“Grammars of Light” at Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo

Astrup Fearnley Museet in Oslo presents "Grammars of Light," a major exhibition featuring immersive works by Cerith Wyn Evans, Ann Lislegaard, and P. Staff. The show includes architecturally scaled video projections and luminous sculptures made from repurposed consumer, medical, and industrial lighting, transforming the museum's galleries into sensory environments that challenge perception.

The exhibition matters because it brings together three contemporary artists who use light as a primary medium to explore perception, space, and materiality. By repurposing everyday and industrial lighting sources, the artists raise questions about how technology and artificial illumination shape human experience, making the show relevant to ongoing conversations about art, environment, and the senses.
