Landscape of Perception, from Luftwerk's"Exact Dutch Yellow" exhibition at the Chicago Cultural Center, 2022.Stepping into “Exact Dutch Yellow” is like finding a cool spot of shade on a scorching hot day. The light in the darkened fourth-floor galleries mainly comes from the work itself, LED- and neon-lit installations that seem to play tricks before our eyes.
The exhibition plumbs the history of color classification, a subject that seems tailor-made for Luftwerk, the Chicago-based artistic duo of Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero. Luftwerk, which references the immateriality of light and air and the materiality of artwork, have staged similar architectural interventions across the world, from the Chicago Botanical Garden and the Farnsworth House, to sites in Barcelona and Zimbabwe.
On view are LED-lit canvases which slowly shift in tone based on changing lights, like living color field paintings. Two wall-hung sculptures vacillate between light and dark, in an LED illusion reminiscent of Anish Kapoor’s work. Yet it is the final gallery that steals the show. The wall-sizedrecreates a 1789 tool called a cyanometer, used for measuring the blueness of the sky.
