release 19th of september 2011 Art and science connected with light GLOW 2011 'Illusion and Reality" Maze of Colour GLOW 2011 links various cityscapes in a route which also connects two celebrating institutions of the city: the 55-year old Technical University Eindhoven (TU/e) and the 75-year old Van Abbe Museum. Which embodies illusion and which reality is left open, if it comes to creativity both are needed. The four kilometer route is divided into two parts, as is the theme. On the one hand there is the urban environment of the city; areas where concrete and intense contemporary urbanity set the tone and where artists with firm statements battle with advertising, streetlights and consumerism. On the other hand there are the banks of the river Dommel and the green of the TU/e campus. Artists need to sharpen their creativity to add something to the wellknown context. And the viewers have to surrender to the power of light. The reward is always a surprising and inspiring experience that leaves an everlasting impression. GLOW is a dynamic event of international stature that takes place in Eindhoven, where light, art, design and technology converge and develope continuously. The organization has again contracted international light artists who present a mix of spectacular light projections and understated conceptual lighting installations of high quality which changes the city view. Some participants of GLOW 2011: AntiVJ, Lab[au], Krzysztof Wodiczko, Tomorrow's Thoughts Today, United Visual Artists, Jacqueline Verhaagen, Tamar Frank, Giny Vos, Studio VOLLAERSZWART, Karasic & Van Gelder, Peter Vink, Wiersma & Smeets, Michel Suk, We Make Carpets, Har Hollands & Kees Bos, Luminarie de Cagna.
