Aspen Art Museum

In a new, site-specific exhibition by Ugo Rondinone, fluorescent, life-size casts of dancers lie within a Technicolor room in which each plane emits a different hue. Averting their gazes, the nude figures are impervious to viewers, but pulsing with vitality. This polychromatic cascade evokes one of nature’s most delicate and ephemeral phenomena: the rainbow. Forging links between the natural world and the spiritual realm, Rondinone continues his examination of the body’s dematerialization and human encounters with the sublime.
