Death of James Lee Byars, by the said Byars was somewhat on the conceptual side of light art, if it even can be counted as light art. Anyhow, light was present, in a very serene form.

As seen in Venice 2019, in Chiesa di Santa Maria della Visitazione.

In Kuvan kevät exhibition of graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts of Finland there wasn't too much of light used as a material. Here's one example, Extinct star by Tanja Is-Selin, with two of her other pieces.

Anne Roininen, of Thesmallest Vallila fame, has an exhibition in the Vuosaari Library, in its department of biographies, to be exact. It's part of her Made In series, that deals with, well, stuff; where it comes from, where it goes and what people do with it when it's not needed anymore. This assemblage consists of scanned cameras, flashlight and pearls, coated with soap, and lighted. The piece is called Ritva's cameras, flashlight and pearls.

Your Rainbow Panorama by Olafur Eliasson in Aarhus, on top of the Aros museum, is well worth a visit. It's a visualised lecture on how colours affect to each other.

Last year I curated a festival with Stefan Aleksandar Jovanovski. It might be the smallest in the world. In the blog post I recall the idea, take a burger into a shop and a pope into a bar, am surprised by goths, and dumpster dive, as curators do.

Love is by Kevin Edworthy in Durham during the last Lumiere edition. I do like the quirky site-specificity, even though there were just drunk youngsters behind the corner at the time.
