Lumen Eclipse presents contemporary motion art in public spaces. Using outdoor video displays, social venues and the web, Lumen Eclipse initiates dynamic interaction between artists, sites and audiences. We enrich public space and everyday experience with free and innovative motion art while broadening society’s awareness of contemporary art.
The project exists in three spaces:
Outdoor: on a pair of large outdoor video screens in Harvard Square, MA – the screens incite public interaction with motion-based art by bringing artwork to the street, outside the confines of the gallery walls.
Online: as an artistic and informational community, LumenEclipse.com showcases artwork, interviews, news and events so viewers may learn about the art and artists represented.
Screenings: intimate monthly screenings at local venues facilitate conversation between art, artists and audiences.
Lumen Eclipse shows an average of 8 works a month or approximately 96 artworks a year. In it’s two years of existence, Lumen Eclipse has showcased works by over 250 artists, representing a varied spectrum of art disciplines, artistry level and thematic content. Works by some of the following international artists have been exhibited on Lumen Eclipse monitors: Miranda July, Yoko Ono, Isaac Julien, Michel Gondry and Mike Mills.
