More quotes by Dan Flavin
A piece of wall can be visually disintegrated from the whole into a separate triangle by plunging a diagonal of light from edge to edge on the wall that is, side to floor, for instance.
Dan Flavin
It is what it is, and it ain't nothin' else... Everything is clearly, openly, plainly delivered.
Dan Flavin
I like my use of light to be openly situational in the sense that there is no invitation to meditate, to contemplate.
Dan Flavin
Electric light is just another instrument. I have no desire to contrive fantasies mediumistically or sociologically over it or beyond it.
