Philippe Parreno's 'Noor' at Gladstone Explores Light as Constitutive Element
Gladstone presents 'Noor', an exhibition by Philippe Parreno that centers on light as a fundamental medium. Parreno's exhibitions are known for their sentient quality, where objects and videos appear self-aware, interacting with each other and their environment. His shows are often compared to living organisms—mutable, interdependent, and generative—operating on algorithmically determined rhythms. 'Noor' features intermeshed beams of light, cast shadows, and glowing output, conceived as a tribute to Barbara Gladstone.
