Daniel Crooks
Struc­tured Light

Daniel Crooks’ Struc­tured Light, curat­ed by Elspeth Pitt, returns to the Nation­al Gallery of Aus­tralia for its 40^th anniversary.

Crooks’ project – Struc­tured Light – cel­e­brates the design of the orig­i­nal Nation­al Gallery build­ing by archi­tect, Col Madi­gan. Using Madigan’s geo­met­ric lan­guage as a point of depar­ture, Crooks trans­forms the Gallery façade through visu­al manip­u­la­tions span­ning geom­e­try, per­spec­tive, colour and light. A score by Byron Scullin responds to Madigan’s bru­tal­ist archi­tec­ture and sense of sacred geometry.

Daniel Crooks: Struc­tured Light is part of The Bal­naves Con­tem­po­rary Series and is pre­sent­ed in part­ner­ship with Events ACT​.cr
