Electrifying!
The Art of Light and Illumination

Show ran from March 3, 2007 – Dec 31, 2007

The Revolving Museum’s Electrifying! will feature a gallery exhibition, public artworks, and special events of dynamic light-art works created by over 100 youth and artists. Inspired by the history of Revolving Museum building (originally the Lowell Gas & Light Building built in 1859), the building once supplied the piped coal gas that lighted the mills, businesses, houses, and street lamps of the city. This location will serve as a powerful metaphor as The Revolving Museum generates new creative energies and illuminates a diversity of artistic, educational, and community-focused functions.

Electrifying! also focused on conceptual issues dealing with the fields of problems and perception of immaterial light, private or public applications and the study of the history of light from the medieval to the avant-garde including different genres such as Futurism and Constructivism.
