An exhibition about the innovative and diverse use of color, linking the past and present with each other.
The exhibition Colors, etc. in Tripostal, Lille focuses on experiencing colors. It will tickle all our senses and visitors will be invited to explore, feel, hear, color through a series of immersive installations.
Several artists and designers are invited to create an installation in situ, all focussed on different aspects of color; light & color, sound & color, psyche & color...
A part of the exhibiton is in collaboration with the Design Museum Gent. In the Kleureyck exhibition, the point of departure was the Jan van Eyck’s skillful use of color, which is fully revealed in all its glory during the restoration of the Ghent Altarpiece. Using oil paint and transparent, colored glazes, van Eyck was able to achieve an innovative variety of color nuances, clarity and saturation in his paintings. His inspiring use of color is the starting point for a selection of national and international designers. They all share an affinity with ‘color’. At the Tripostal we will find several installations presented in Ghent, including more than 100 objects that make up the "Pigment Walk".
The visitor will be led to consider design in all its forms...and all its colors.
