lighting artists.
It uses light and moving colours that blend and change to create a unique and captivating experience.
The exhibition has been commissioned by Place Partnership at OneRen – the local charitable trust providing cultural, leisure and sporting opportunities to help people enjoy active and healthy lives – as a taster for the forthcoming new Film and Media Space, in Paisley
Muriel Ann Macleod, creative producer with OneRen’s Place Partnership programme, added: “Artistic experimentation like Lumia is important because it can change our perception of the world.
“Trent’s work in Lumia interrogates how light can create space and how light can create another environment to experience as viewers
“Place Partnership is currently supporting a core collective of film makers to develop a new film and media exhibition space in Paisley, experimentation and innovation is part of the theme of that space.
“Trent’s work being developed here in Paisley demonstrates the ambition, skill and innovation of Renfrewshire base Digital Art makers.”
Rikki Payne, OneRen’s arts manager, commented “This stunning exhibition of light highlights the sometimes forgotten avantgarde art form of Lumia.
“The moving image immersive exhibition uses a series of displays of text, animation and video documentation using light as the sole medium of expression.
“It’s very unusual for an exhibition like this to be staged in Scotland and we should celebrate that we can do this in Paisley because of the developing artistic economy and the ambition of our artists.
“This exhibition gives us some insight into the digital art work that is being explored by artists and students in UWS Paisley.
“Often the public just don’t get to see this kind of work or know its being made by local artists.”
“We hope this, the first of a series of exhibitions and events, goes some way to address this disconnect.”
