ART: Nebulae by Fabian Oefner

What might look like a giant nebula or a distant galaxy at first glance, is in reality the glowing ends of a fiberglass lamp. 

DESIGN: IRIS by HYBE 

Interactive installation is grid of transparent LCDs which display halftone and circular patterns whose display can emulate it’s viewers.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Erwin Redl. The Toledo Museum of Art is exhibiting Redl’s newest work, Floating, In Silence (2013) in its SANAA-designed Glass Pavilion. Redl developed Floating, In Silence as a resident artist in the TMA’s Guest Artist Pavilion Project.

These are Redl’s photos of Matrix II (2000-11), which was included in “Ecstasy: In and About Altered States” at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2005. Redl discusses this work — and altered states! — on this week’s program.

Redl was born in Austria, came to the United States on a Fulbright and now lives and works in Bowling Green, Ohio. He’s exhibited throughout the United States and Europe, including at the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University, in the Whitney Biennial, at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas, where he was in residence in 2003. Thorough documentation of Redl’s work is available on his website.
