Helix variations - Let there be light!

Like advertized in my last post

I promised to display some variations of a light spiral I saw in the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck at Remagen, Germany.

This is what you see when you turn around the corner and enter the connecting tunnel between the two parts / levels of the Arp Museum:

 Of course you can try to find different perspectives to take the light object from various angle of views...

...but after looking through my photos on the notebook I felt I have to find more variations generated by PS.

 

So please make your own opinion if I managed to generate interesting variations of this light sculpture...

Enjoy a great and deLIGHTful weekend or have a even greater start in the first week of November!

My very subjective view on the Arp Museum

Have you ever been to the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck???

No?

Welcome! Please get closer!

Aron Demetz.

Current special exhibit with many interesting human-like sculptures from 22. August 2014 to 11. January 2015

The Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck at Remagen in the Rhine Valley south of Bonn is composed of two main buildings: the entrance and restaurant area is in the old railway station Bahnhof Rolandseck, completely refurbished in 2002. 

 

And a second, very modern building behind and above it - the actual main museum, called the 'Richard Meier Bau' / Richard Meier building with most of the exhibition rooms and artworks of Hans Arp.

Hans Arp, also known as Jean Arp in France, (16 September 1886 – 7 June 1966) was a German-French (Alsatian) sculptor, painter, poet and abstract artist in other media such as torn and pasted paper.

He's known as one of the founders of the Dada movement, he broke with the Surrealist movement to found Abstraction-Création.

One of my museum's favourites was the connecting tunnel between the older part and the 'Richard Meier building", where you can find that great light sculpture. (I love light sculptures!)

Generally speaking I was more impressed by the museum's architecture then by most of the exhibited artworks! Sorry, Hans! ;-)

In a second (= next) post I want to display my photographic interpretation of that light sculpture tunnel!

Here's my photographic interpretation of the building's elevator to the 'Richard Meier Bau' at the end of the tunnel.

The museum's architecture gives ambitious photographers many options to work creatively as well and to find their metaphorical language of this great place (in my humble opinion).

Fortunately it was not forbidden to take photos in most of the exhibition spaces of the museum - only in one part of the current exhibition with Old Masters taking photos was not allowed.

Most (all?!) of Hans Arp's artwork is really reduced to the minimum - like the sculptures above
or the grafic sculpture at a white wall below.

But when I saw and took this photograph of a female bodybuilder displayed in a different part of the museum...  

... I felt the need to fuse both artworks to a result of its own in my subsequent picture editing... ;-)

= Fusion Art ;-)

So: Stand up - now it's your move!

The Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck is waiting for you.

And it's really worth visiting! 

And: try to find your own very subjective view on the museum and its great artworks!
