Peter Erskine
Solar Spectrum Environmental art Arte Solare Ambientale
During the years 1989 through 1992, Peter
Erskine created a new solar spectrum environmental art medium called
"Secrets of the Sun, Millennial Meditations (SOS)". Since then Erskine
has exhibited this art in the site specific architectural installations
in the USA, Italy, Germany, England and Northern Ireland. The artist’s
work is firmly anchored in the architecture and context of each locality.
In this art the Sun is not only the subject of the work but the medium
and energy source as well. Erskine lives in Santa Monica, California.
Spettro solare arte ambientale
Tra il 1989 e 1992 Peter Erskine creň un nuovo
medium artistico interattivo a spettro solare chiamato "Segreti del Sole:
Meditazioni Millenarie (SOS)". Da allora Erskine ha fatto conoscere il
suo lavoro attraverso numerose installazioni artistiche specifiche ai
luoghi prescelti negli Stati Uniti, in Italia, Germania, Inghilterra ed
in Irlanda del Nord, che hanno avuto un forte eco. Il lavoro dell'artista
č fermamente ancorato alle circostanze e all'architettura di ogni sito.
In quest' arte il sole non č solamente il soggetto del lavoro ma anche
il suo tramite e la sua sorgente di energia.
