LightNOW

American artist Stephen Knapp will provide the Lighting Keynote at IIDEX/NEOCON Canada 2009 on Friday, September 25 at 10:30 AM.

During a career spanning decades, Knapp has been producing lightpaintings, formed at the intersection of painting, sculpture and architecture, and inspired by his explorations of space and dimension, light and colour, and perception. As one of a small group of artists working with light, Knapp has gained an international reputation for large-scale works of pure radiance, making visible the light that surrounds us and transforming it. He has a well-established record of collaborating with architects and designers.

Knapp’s work can be found in museums, private, public and corporate collections around the world. He has written and lectured widely and has been featured in many international publications, including Architectural Record, Interior Design and The New York Times.

In his IIDEX/NeoCon Canada keynote address, Knapp will discuss the development of lightpaintings, the impact light art could have on the art and architecture of the future and how it could change the way we design our buildings.
