In 2017, I had the opportunity to visit many art exhibitions in several countries. I came across a large number of artworks and I decided to share here my top 10 favourites. However, the experience of these works is impossible to convey through photographs. They are extremely engaging and unique in their materiality.
1. Light Matters by ACTLD at Amsterdam Light Festival 2017
2. Béla Tarr’s Tree installation, Till the end of the World at EYE Filmmuseum
3. Party in a Color Haze by Cody Choi, Korean Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2017
4. Meteorieten by Marinus Boezem at Oude Kerk, Amsterdam
5. Forms in Space…by Light (in Time) by Cerith Wyn Evans at Tate Britain
6. Blocka Flats by Richard Wilson, Stealing Space at Annely Juda Fine Art, London
7. World Lace by Isabel Ferrand at Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam
8. Leo Vroegindeweij’s No Title at Amsterdam ArtZuid 2017

Interesting choices. A lot of works with light (and I agree!) The lace seems very beautiful and with a meaning of connections between all people around the world. The work of Matylda Tracewska seems magic. Thanks for sharing, Marcelo.

Thanks for your comment…
Yes, light is very important in the resolution of many of these works. However, I don’t think that light is the main concern. For instance, what is great about Béla Tarr’s Installation is the wind, but photographs don’t show it. Cody Choi’s music selection is also what makes the work more interesting. Ultimately, without light there is no visual arts.
