Core Lighting supplies fashion and art exhibition

Core Lighting recently supplied fashion and art exhibition “Off The Wall” with a fully wireless LED lighting solution. Presented at the Art Couture Painswick (ACP) Gallery in Painswick, the six week installation included creations from fashion designers, sculptors, and leather designers, as well as a miscellany of other artefacts and exhibits.

When it came to lighting the space, the existing lighting wasn’t suitable and a completely different approach was needed. Organisers ACP approached Core’s Phil Ion with the challenge. Eleven of Core’s PinPoints were used to spotlight the individual artefacts including paintings, sculptures, head pieces and gowns.

A near life-size wire pony was illuminated completely in colour with a Core StripPoint 1 metre LED batten, with the head highlighted by a PinPoint unit. Following the equestrian theme, Core ColourPoints were used to illuminate a leather horse’s head.

The original Orville was illuminated with a PinPoint spotlight. More ColourPoint units were used to texture selected paintings with additional colour tone. A dress designed by Adnan Bayyat, made from thousands of paperclips, was lit with PinPoints heightening its complex, layered metallic structure; the dress also featured at the recent London Fashion Week SS16.

The original Gallery track lighting was removed prior to the exhibition and replaced with metal strips. The PinPoints were clamped to this via their magnetic bases. Up in the roof, the PinPoints blended in with the environment. The whole lighting display was powered for six weeks using the products’ internal battery power supplies and wireless control, with the units being recharged overnight.
