The starting point for Cruz-Diez´s chromatic investigations is the unstable nature of colour. His work combines colour theory, science, kinetics, mechanical engineering, and the painter´s craft, and it defies easy categorization.
For more than five decades, Carlos Cruz-Diez (born 1923) has experimented intensively with the origins and optics of colour. His wide-ranging body of work includes unconventional colour structures, light environments, street interventions, architectural integration projects, and experimental works that engage the response of the human eye while insisting on the participatory nature of colour.

Carlos Cruz-Diez: Colour in Space and Time features more than 150 works created from the 1940s to today, including paintings, silk-screen prints, and innovative chromatic structures; room-size chromatic environments, architectural models, and videos; and a virtual re-creation of the artist´s studio. The exhibition introduces international audiences to Cruz-Diez´s extensive production and places his theoretical and artistic contributions to 20th-century Modernism in a broader context than they have traditionally been seen.
This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Cruz-Diez Foundation, Houston.

Impact 8
28th August – 1st September 2013
Print Festival Scotland
Impact 8 International Printmaking Conference:
A celebration of interdisciplinarity and exploration through the medium of print.
The eighth Impact international conference will be hosted in Dundee as a central element to the inaugural Print Festival Scotland – an event which aims to confirm the cultural diversity, historical significance and future potential of print.
Foregrounding the inherent experimental and interdisciplinary nature of print practices Impact 8 will provide a critical and interactive platform for the varied interests that make print such a unique discipline. From its hybrid roots in industry and scholarship, through traditional design applications and fine art practices to it’s consistent significance within emerging technologies and theoretical debate – print continues to play a crucial role in the exploration of borders and crossings – be they geographical, ideological, cultural, theoretical or practical.
