Score for a Color Field

Score for a Color Field is an exhibition of Floor van de Velde's recent installations exploring light, space, sound and color. This exhibition includes three works that confound the viewer's sense of perception and depth of field. Van de Velde's piercing color, understated mechanics and use of light and sound as the core materials place her alongside contemporary artists like Chul Hyun Ahn, Yann Novak and Eric Michel. Precursors for this movement, like Robert Irwin, James Turrell and Dan Flavin broadened the realm of art to include works with no clear 'object' except the viewers experience of the immersive installations in which they found themselves. Van de Velde expands this experience of traditional projected image by taking advantage of recent technological advances in both hardware and software to combine light, non-pictorial visuals, color and abstract geometric forms into three-dimensional environments.

Floor van de Velde is a Belgian born, South African cross-disciplinary artist and musician. As an experimenter in sonic art, sculpture, electronics and photography, she gravitates towards precision-oriented, systematic and reductionist approaches to art-making. Her work has been performed and shown in San Francisco, New York, Boston and Cape Town. Floor holds a BFA in Sculpture from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and is currently a candidate in the Program in Art, Culture + Technology at MIT.
