Here at Turner Contemporary were absolutely delighted to have sol LeWhitt's wall during hash
1136 in the claw learning studio this really vibrant drawing is taken weeks to install but
we hope you'll get lots from seeing this fantastic display of colour Sol LeWitt
was an american artist hugely influential in terms of his practice on other artists but a
key figure in conceptual art this work exists on an ongoing basis and this can be recreated
in different spaces the sort of precision repetition that very much part of this war
drawing get us to consider wider set of issues around color life in technicolor is a film that's
been made by a group of young people over the last few months really considering silhouettes
wardroom they've been exploring issues around creativity art production and color and on that
journey they've been to galleries around the country as well as spending time here
at turner contemporary the film brings together lots of different ideas and really sets out how
important color creativity and celebration of youth activity really is internal contemporaries
programs there's more aspects color than you might think when you look at it you think oh
that's that's red or that's blue but it's very different to that there's more debt
we are hard to respond to those sudden mix together actually made white are those seven
colors in different combinations actually make any color you've ever seen in fact they
make any color it's ever possible to see what those are the entire spectrum of light that
we can see so those ones are actually crave all great artwork you've ever seen it's all
just these colors around all atoms and metals included there's a cloud of electrons it's that
movement of those electrons the transitions between one energy state of another that
gives rise to color and they absorb light and precisely the same color that they give it out
in the Middle Ages on a sunny day the internal Canterbury Cathedral
they were meant to flood the place with color you can really feel like your bear
and interacting in the color you have a stained glass window or a painting which
hasn't got any white in it just colors it just turns into a soup of color they
all kind of fight against each other none of the colors gets a chance to
develop its own quality the primaries are not actually problem red is a mixture of yellow
there cannot be if you talk about the yellow some people think it's really bright the artist ok Lucy
and scientists are saying it was actually they thought of a suicide red is like it's
an interruption and it's a feeling but it's not something you can know and lock down to a piece
of paper red light has a long wavelength so it's waving gently through space as it were the blue
light is a much shorter wavelength it's cigs a gang up and down quite rapidly by comparison
Green sits in the middle I love the color that is generally deemed to be most restful yellow we
all think of the Sun but for me if somebody was very yellow I know instantly honestly there L
something's wrong solar width is not interested in the usual you can't avoid what's called the figure
ground pair so you can't receive a figure without the ground on which it says oh it's different very
loud started 4 80's and colleges with they are you sore and cut up this big one the color of
sort of absorb to you it feels like the other ones come out and the gray goes is the leaves
are sort of almost three-dimensional that pushing out the wall so it feels as it grows pushing back
in you can really feel like you're there and you're watching in the color really because the
sea is going to be seen in that room it might give another atmosphere different a different
sort of light under college exploring the color it causes you to think more about what it means
and looking at so it's like wall hanging it makes you think about it in a different way
