Thomas Wilfred: Lumia, visual music and cinema

University Room: David T. McGovern Grand Salon (C-104)
Wednesday, April 25, 2018 - 18:30 to 20:00

The Art History and Fine Arts Department invites you to a lecture by Pierre-Jacques Pernuit of the Universit茅 Paris 1 Panth茅on-Sorbonne聽on Danish artist Thomas Wilfred.

Thomas Wilfred is a forgotten figure of the historical avant-garde. His contribution to art history could be thus described: Wilfred broke up with the tradition of color-organs dating from the 18th and 19th centuries1 to invent an independent art of light in movement that preceded James Turrell鈥檚 light spaces and luminal-kinetic lightboxes from the 1960鈥檚. Wilfred named this new art Lumia and claimed to have created the eighth fine art. From his first experiments in 1916, Wilfred developed a plastic revolution in terms of projection and spaces and imagined new horizons for artistic expression outside established art forms such as cinema, painting or music.
