Erwin Redl

If you’d like to learn more about Erwin, you can check out his website or his profile on Instagram.

Erwin Redl is based in Bowling Green, OH and New York City. He states that: “Since 1997, I have investigated the process of “reverse engineering” by (re-)translating the abstract aesthetic language of virtual reality and 3‑D computer modeling, back into architectural environments by means of large-scale light installations. Space is experienced as a second skin, our social skin, which is transformed through my artistic intervention. Due to the very nature of its architectural dimension, participating by simply being “present” is an integral part of the installation. Visual perception works in conjunction with corporeal motion, and the subsequent passage of time.” 

The formal aspect of his work becomes easily accessible through conscious aesthetic reduction to a minimalist vocabulary. Interpretation and understanding of this characteristic is dependent upon the viewer’s subjective references. Equally, the various interactions between the visitors within the context of the installation re-shape each viewer’s subjective references and reveal a complex social phenomenon.

Redl’s large scale light installations have been featured in major museums, as well as in the public space around the world. Recent projects include “White Out,” which as installed in Madison Square Park, New York City and at the Oklahoma Contemporary, Oklahoma City and “Circles Unity” presented the winter in the tunnel below the Tampa Convention Center, Tampa, Florida.
