David Zwirner presents an exhibition devoted to Dan Flavin’s grid works, a pivotal body of work the artist began in 1976. This focused presentation revisits the grids through re-creations of their original installation formats, alongside loans from major public collections and the Estate of Dan Flavin.
From his early use of a single fluorescent tube in the diagonal of May 25th, 1963 (to Constantin Brancusi) to the complex installations developed over the following decades, Flavin pursued a rigorous exploration of light as structure. Working exclusively with commercially available fluorescent lamps, he conceived his installations as spatial situations, using color and illumination to define, measure, and transform architectural space.
