In praise of shadow: new lighting design

EUNIC together with the European Commission in the UK presents an exhibition of new European lighting design.

'In Praise of Shadows' is a project which has been organised by EUNIC - a network of European Cultural Centres - together with the support of the EC's office in London - to mark the initial phasing-out of low-efficiency light bulbs. The project is curated by Jane Withers and includes works by twenty European designers who bring imaginative thinking to the potential of low energy lighting. It's an opportunity not just to change a bulb but change the way we think about light - and darkness. The exhibition takes place in the Jones’ Galleries (closed for refurbishment) at the V&A, where the new lights will be like mysterious visitors in the darkened galleries.
