Summary
Radiant Nature' contributes substantial new scholarship on the early work of Chilean artist Juan Downey (1940-93) through the exploration of works made between 1967 and 1975: interactive sculptures (1967-71); happenings and performances (1968-75); and the Life Cycle Installations (1970-71). Key themes addressed here include the interaction between technology, aesthetics and the body as a means to forge more horizontal forms of participation and more ethical ways to interact with the environment.00Exhibition: Pitzer College Art Galleries, Claremont, United States (09.09. - 08.12.2017) / LACE Gallery, Los Angeles, United States (13.09. - 03.12.2017).
