LIGHT FOR ART AND CULTURE OUR LIVES ARE ENRICHED BY ART. THROUGH ART WE EXPAND OUR HORIZONS AND ENTER NEW WORLDS. THAT IS WHY BUILDINGS DESIGNED FOR ART AND CULTURE ARE AT THE CENTRE OF PUBLIC INTEREST. THE ARCHITECTURE AND TYPE OF LIGHTING USED IN THESE SPACES HAVE A FAR-REACHING INFLUENCE ON THEIR IDENTITY. IN A MUSEUM SPACE, DAYLIGHT AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHT ARE OF FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE BECAUSE THEY GUIDE PEOPLE EMOTIONALLY. THE LIGHTING MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO ILLUMINATE ALL THE FACETS OF THE ARTWORK AND TO STRUCTURE EXHIBITIONS. AISHTI FOUNDATION, BEIRUT / LBN DAVID ADJAYE ARCHAEOLOGICAL...
Open the catalog to page 2“ Light as a curator and scenographer.” Whether in a museum, in a public hall or in private surroundings, a piece of art unites with light and space and should be experienced as a single entity.

Open the catalog to page 6Dr Sabine Haag Museum of Art History Manager, Vienna “ IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE A MUSEUM WITHOUT THE RIGHT LIGHTING” “ We spent ages discussing how we could make a historic collection in a historic building relevant to the world of today. In our search for the right lighting solution, we ultimately came up with the idea of using contemporary lighting for the museum's Art Chamber. As far as I am concerned, our collaboration here with Zumtobel was essentially shaped by their knowledge of how to create something ground-breaking. For the best collection in the world, we insisted on working...

Open the catalog to page 18With responsibility for the architectural, curatorial, social and economic relevance of cultural buildings, the demands on the performance of lighting concepts and lighting systems also increases. The interplay of perception and construction, staging and orientation, outside and inside, daylight and artificial lighting requires a precise and holistic range of lighting tools for different tasks. By working very closely with architects, planners, builders and exhibition managers, Zumtobel has developed lighting systems that offer crucial support when it comes to the implementation of...
Open the catalog to page 19The four dimensions of light Only through light can art truly become an experience. The perfect presentation of paintings, photographs, sculptures and archaeological artefacts requires a deep understanding of the respective space, the medium and the curatorial theme. Effective lighting concepts follow the planning principles of museum lighting. A successful lighting design will encompass the four dimensions of light – direction, intensity, colour and time – to create a fascinating single entity.
