Slideshow image

UVA’s first photographic show explores the potential of light to redefine an environment, both physically and emotionally. The exhibition aims to distill the experience of UVA’s installation work into a series of striking, large-scale images. These photographs document a number of experimental light installations in secluded areas of Britain - huge artificial lights which are in sharp contrast to the natural landscape around them, creating an ephemeral new space.

Exhibition runs from the June 3rd – 27th 2009
The Smithfield Gallery, London

  • Chorus. The pendulums swinging in the Howard Assembly Room..

Chorus

Commissioned to celebrate the re-opening of the Howard Assembly Room, ‘Chorus’ is simultaneously an intensely physical and yet ephemeral experience. An array of motor-assisted pendulums, suspended from the roof, swing through the space emitting light and sound. As the dynamic system evolves, the rhythms revolve through chaos and return to unison, producing a hypnotic and seductive performance that heightens the viewer’s awareness of the space and their relationship with it. ‘Chorus’ is effectively a new kind of musical instrument, one in which the spatial location of each sound is a critical part of the composition of the piece.

Commissioned by Opera North
in association with The Culture Company

Music by Mira Calix
The Howard Assembly Room, Opera North, Leeds.

Array

Commissioned by Yamaguchi Center for Arts And Media (YCAM)
for their fifth anniversary, as part of the Yuda Art Project.
Supported by The British Council, Tokyo

‘Array’ is a field of columns set in the courtyard of the Chuya Nakahara
Memorial Museum in Southern Japan. The columns create a field of
light and sound which gently shifts in response to the viewers’ movements,
via a hidden network of ultrasonic sensors. Each column is lit by a pure,
shimmering white light. This forest of light light calls you in, and its response
to your movement invites you to explore. Inside the grid lives a spirit,
in the form of a single pure red light. This spirit is timid but often playful,
revealing itself boldly then disappearing.

  • Echo. Performed at Teatro Sociale di Como, Italy

November 2009

In collaboration with the dance group Mimbre, ‘Echo’,
was performed in the monumental setting of Como’s Teatro Sociale
in Italy. This work was originally commissioned by Vamp for the Tate
Modern’s turbine hall. Using advanced 3-D cameras to capture the
physicality of the dancers movement, this was then translated in real
time to a monumental backdrop creating a simultaneous performance.
‘Echo’ will be touring internationally in 2009.

UVA - Covent Garden

November 2008 – January 2009

Commissioned by Covent Garden, UVA lit up the market halls of Covent Garden
with a responsive light installation. Launched as the flagship piece of the winter
season program at Covent Garden the installation featured 600 custom-designed
mirrored LED tubes hanging above the entire Covent Garden market space.
The volumetric arrangement of the tubes created a canvas in which three
dimensional light formations were made possible. Constellation was also
individually controllable using a custom-designed control panel, giving the
installation an intimate connection with the public.

Becks Fusions in 2008 collaborated with The
Contemporary Art Society to create a weekend-long collision of music and art at the
Castlefield Arena in Manchester offered a unique urban canvas for the featured
bands and artists. UVA were commissioned to create a unique, cinematic live show
with Massive Attack, featuring the debut performance of ‘United Snakes’. The
high-resolution, super-widescreen animation for this track, created using bespoke
animation tools, is the latest development in UVA’s ongoing
relationship with Massive Attack.

KINGS PLACE

Designed by celebrated architects Dixon-Jones, Kings Place brings
together under one roof a creative hub, featuring the new headquarters
of the Guardian newspaper and a world class music and visual arts
venue. To signify the run up to the opening day, UVA created a new
take on the classic digital clock. Built using a multitude of dimable
fluorescent tubes and programmed to be both a literal countdown,
and an abstract lightwork viewable from miles away.
