Bill Culbert (b.1935) Cubic Projections, 1968 signed and numbered '18' plastic with pin-holes radiating light 60cm diameter. Literature: David Mellor, The Sixties Art Scene in London, Phaidon, London, 1993, pp.180-181 for an example illustrated in a mirror-chamber. Bill Culbert was one of a handful of artists in the mid-sixties exploring kinetic and optical art forms. Cubic Projections is a light sculpture that sees the perforation of a black globe allowing spots of light to be projected and a regulated flow of light at intervals to be seen, depicting the image of the bulb filament onto the surrounding surfaces. This sculpture was one of a limited edition of multiples produced and sold by The Lisson Gallery in 1968.
