Brigitte Kowanz
Vienna-born artist Brigitte Kowans has titled her exhibition “Vo_Lumen,” announcing from the outset that she is concerned with how light fills space and, indeed, is a space itself. Simultaneously magical and minimalist, her neon works draw viewers into intangible spaces by means of light refractions, light diffractions, and light reflected in mirrors. Each technique manages to suggest the swiftness and depth of a river, and through the use of words like ESCAPE and LIGHTING, Kowans creates what might be understood as the ultimate what-you-see-is-what-you-read tautology, one-upping Joseph Kosuth
