"Light Show" was a hugely popular and critically acclaimed exhibition held at the Hayward Gallery in London from January 30 to April 28, 2013.
The exhibition was a showcase of sculptures and installations by international artists who used artificial light as their primary medium. It was a sensory and immersive experience that explored how light can transform space and alter human perception. The artworks spanned from the 1960s to the present day, with some being recreated specifically for the show.
The exhibition wasn't just about visual spectacle; it also explored the psychological effects of light and color, from the disorienting feeling of being in a "chromosaturation" room filled with a single, intense color to the soothing, meditative quality of simulated moonlight.
"Light Show" was widely celebrated for being both intellectually stimulating and incredibly fun, making it one of the most popular and "must-see" exhibitions in London that year.
