Art installation by famous German artist Mischa Kuball will be shown in Baku on March 10.

The idea to make "Space-Speech-Speed" inspiration in Kapellhaus came to German artist while he was visiting Baku in December upon invitation of Goethe-Zentrum Baku, the local branch of international cultural organization – Goethe-Institut.

For one month the main hall of Kapellhaus will be transformed into magnificent light installation that calls for relaxation, Report.az informs.

The exhibition will last until April 8. The event starts at 18:00.

By the way, an artist talk (in English with consecutive translation into Azerbaijani) starts at 19:00.

Mischa Kuball, conceptual artist, has been working in the public and institutional sphere since 1977.

Since 2007 he has been a Professor for public art at the Academy of Media Arts, Cologne, and associate professor for media art at Hochschule für Gestaltung/ZKM, Karlsruhe. Since 2015 he has been a member of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences, Humanities and the Arts, Duesseldorf. In 2016 he was honoured with the German Light Award.

German artist works extensively with light that he describes as an effective tool to operate in the urban structure. The artist’s interventions enchant the space by equally powerful use of light and darkness that highlight previously unnoticeable details, convert ordinary into unordinary and transform the space unrecognizably.

Less is more and minimalism is eloquently strong in Mischa Kuball’s works. Throughout his 40 years artistic practice Mischa Kuball’s has focused on giving a platform and creating opportunity to many to express themselves through the means of his art.
