John Armleder is lighting up Museion’s facade in Bolzano, Italy, with a dancing kaleidoscope of fireworks, flashing lights and colours. Inside the museum a fake Christmas tree decorated with blue lights lies on the ground against the backdrop of a large coloured canvas that channels the spirit of minimalist artworks.

Endless is meant to be on show especially for the city’s renowned Christmas markets. For more than ten years the artist has hosted spectacular Christmas parties at his home in Geneva – which once belonged to a magician – with personalities from all over the world. The theme dominates many of his works, which include tables sprinkled with snow, his “pour paintings” – canvases featuring cascades of acrylic paint, metallic enamels, lacquer and glitter – and others interspersed with baubles and Christmas decorations, and coloured mirrors alternated with neon lights.
