Sketch for 800 Lights, Laura Wilson (2012)

An invitation to change a light.

A new commission by artist Laura Wilson as part of Tweespoor for Turnhout 2012, Wilson will change 800 Lights in the city to a different colour, the work celebrates the anniversary of Turnhout since it became a free city in 1212. From the streetlights in the market place, to spotlights in restaurants, to desk lamps in homes, spread throughout the city, each lamp will represent one year for each of Turnhout's birthdays.

The residents of Turnhout are invited to be involved in the work through hosting a changing of a light. To register your interest please follow this link http://www.warande.be/activiteit/laura-wilson
