Installed Products
A stage of light
Munich's Haus der Kunst is well-known for its exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. "Sitzung", the current artwork by Martino Gamper, transforms the museum's central hall into a lively, changing space. The exhibition is staged by Sento sospeso pendant luminaires, which create an impressive performance and harmoniously combine art and light.
The art of sitting
The interactive exhibition "Sitzung" presents 100 chairs by designer Martino Gamper. Visitors can place the chairs as they wish to gather, rest and play. A square of 108 Sento sospeso in matt gold provides a stage of light for the installation. The height-adjustable pendant luminaires were made in special lengths especially for this exhibition and can be flexibly adjusted between five and three and a half meters in length.
The artist
Martino Gamper is a well-known Austrian designer and furniture artist. He was born in 1971 in Bressanone, Italy, and studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Gamper is known for his experimental approach to design and his ability to create unique pieces of furniture from everyday objects and materials. His work has been exhibited internationally and is part of many renowned design collections.
"Culture is a human achievement. Art is culture, Occhio also stands for culture - for a new culture of light. Art and light together create something wonderful that touches our hearts." - Susann Meise, co-CEO of Occhio
When light and art merge
Occhio brings another exhibition space in the Haus der Kunst to life. In the exhibition "Inside Other Spaces. Environments by Women Artists 1956 – 1976", the impressive works of eleven female artists from different parts of the world are illuminated. A fascinating symbiosis of light and art, which celebrated its premiere on September 7th, 2023.
Art as innovative lighting design
The side corridors of the room are illuminated with Occhio spotlights Più R alto 3d track in matt white. The lighting system in the Haus der Kunst was changed for the first time in a long time to create a symbiosis between exhibition and lighting. The nuanced lighting provided by spotlights and pendants ensures uniform and soft illumination, while individual operation via Occhio air enables interactive control. The classic spotlighting in the side aisles creates a formal contrast.
