Safe and Sound: The Third Dimension

Alona Rodeh published Safe and Sound: The Third Dimension, on the occasion of Architecture of the Nights, a solo show at Kunstpalais, Erlangen (2019). It also documents Rodeh’s solo exhibition Dark Ages 2020 at Salzburger Kunstverein (2019).
The publication functions as an exhibition catalogue and in parallel constitutes the third issue of Rodeh’s ongoing series of magazine-like, research-based artist’s publications. Both shows revolve thematically around the topic of urban illumination, and feature, among others: re-published historical texts, archive footage, advertisements and scientific illustrations as well as newly commissioned contributions by external historians about the use of light and sound systems in nightclubs, the blackouts in Europe during WWII, and more.
