french artist morgane tschiember is presenting her latest collection of sculptural lighting design pieces at carpenters workshop gallery’s ‘art light’ exhibition held in paris from september 6 to october 12, 2016. called ‘open space’, the pieces continue to explore the artist’s fixation with the transition between dimensions and how they relate and create dialogues with each other.

‘open space’ by morgane tschiember comprises a fluorescent lighting tube with a concrete structure that together create luminescent shapes. the pieces have an engaging characteristic allowing the perspective of the piece to change depending on how and where it is viewed from. the three-dimensional structures are juxtaposed against their surroundings where they touch subjects related to geometry, two dimensions in contrast with three dimensions, and the idea of filling voids with light.

the ‘art light’ exhibition also features works from artists atelier van lieshout, nacho carbonell, stuart haygarth, mathieu lehanneur, frederik molenschot, rAndom international, giacomo ravagli, studio drift, studio job, charles trevelyan and erwin wurm. each artist’s work will be presented as a solo show highlighting the best of their sculptural lighting designs.
