Light & Space | Artbound | Season 11, Episode 1 | KCET

In a world filled with noise, distractions and chaos, a number of artists seek to push the boundaries of perception and experience. The Light and Space movement of the 1960s explored minimalism with a uniquely Californian spin - with a keen attention to the interaction of light and space. Crucially, the materials these artists relied on to create these perceptual experiences emerged from the postwar aerospace industry and its advances.

Artist: Robert Irwin, Larry Bell, and Helen Pashgian. Hats off 👏

[@deepspace28]

Studying Art history is crucial for any artist’s development!

[@constancewalsh3646]

Artists speaking, sans narrator, commentator, critic or analyzer. What a pure treat. thank you !!

[@richardarthurmusic]

I've been looking for a Light and Space specific doc for a couple years...thrilled to find this tonight!

[@monicacruz4407]

Beautiful film about beautiful work. Anyone who denigrated these artists at the time were perhaps a tad envious of their living in the light, experiencing the sea and sky in such an essential way. I like the final comment, that art can be some sort of respite from the world and life in it, this work is other, it gives you space to be. Hats off to all the artists and the film makers who have captured it all so well ❤️

[@markharris4022]

Outstanding choice of words 👍

[@VEGANSAM]

Watching this entire episode...with its perfectly appropriate soundtrack...was like meditation...

[@mukeirabluetemple6950]

Such a fine documentary: the interviews, the images, the background music. Very engaging.

[@rr7firefly]

A recent article about Robert Irwin in the NYTimes brought me to my initial discovery of Robert Irwin. This video is a very informative extension of that. Wonderful to learn about Helen Pashgian and to reacquaint with Larry Bell's art. // I am reminded of an afternoon when the western sky in my town turned to a distinct yellow color. It was something I had to experience, so I parked the car and spent a half hour looking at it. I noticed that no one else seemed to be interested in this phenomenal event.

[@moodyandmelancholic]

This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for this doc! It really helped me think through some creative problems I was struggling with, and is just a fascinating watch.

[@KidGalore]

Mind blowing art & people, very inspirational

[@great-garden-watch]

Fwiw, my favorite thing too look at…clear, transparent, light emitting, colored, shiny glass! Glad I found this!

[@katrussell6819]

One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. Light has always provided "art" for me and I have an idea I wish I could manifest.

[@hazelwray4184]

It's provided art for you; art you struggle to manifest? For me, light has always denoted, meant, or evinced 'art'. Perhaps?

[@rociochacon4907]

Fantastic!

[@archstract__bylamm1008]

Very inspirational and motivating episode

[@itsjudystube7439]

This is wonderful. I feel inspired to explore my own ideas, very different from this..It’s so wonderful to see a master at work and wonder how they took each step along the way.

[@MrSolaris67]

Well done.! I am curious why James Turrel is not one of the featured artist of this episode? He is one of the pioneers of this Light and Space .

[@julieshrive3198]

Very true . Dan Flavin ,Bruce Nauman ,

[@chimmyjeon7279]

Wow!

That was so cool

[@cory99998]

The spherical light sculptures at 17:30 is kinda like quantum entanglement in a way. All states existing at once though we can only access one at a time depending on the angle you view it at

[@Little_Sidhe]

What a beautiful perspective!

[@AminShahsavar]

What an absolutely delightful documentation and learning experience of the Light And Space movement.

[@ashkeebs]

Folks should check out Felipe Pantone - he's been doing some amazing work with colours, light, and constantly-changing art thanks to the light and space the pieces are in.

nice expressions.

[@dandan3521]

11:16 "apartment rental $18 a month at Venice beach California" in the 1960's, it sounds like a script from some kind of sci-fi movie.

Yes there is a lot of pigeonholing. It must frustrate the artists.

[@charlescawley9923]

Although interesting I don't buy into the idea that artists are philosophers. Attempts to justify their work on a philosophical basis appear primitive and futile. However what can you expect when Western Philosophy has all but imploded and eliminated itself as relativism consumes its own justification when applied to itself. It is good to see people trying to rescue philosophy- but without words it's a futile effort however interesting, thoughtful and surprising their efforts. Art should stand on its own strengh rather than try to justify itself on the basis, at times, of what seems little more than cod philosophy. These creations are indeed art but they're spoilt by dressing them up in borrowed clothes.

[@IanSizzler]

I just watched this whole video and it's just a bunch of bullshit IMO

[@argusfleibeit1165]

YUP

[@eddiemays507]

I have a legit question. Why do you think that ?

[@moodyandmelancholic]

my answer judging by this persons comment: “and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche. art moves people in different ways.. i for one found this incredibly poetic and inspirational. but to each their own i guess 🤷

[@Lotustwenty7]

You just don’t feel like us artists do. It’s why you’re not one 😊

[@IanSizzler]

@@Lotustwenty7 except I am. But you're not.☺️
