Lumin de Lumine projection on Torness Power Station, Scotland

On the 9th February 2006 at 7:30pm until midnight, the western elevation of Torness Power Station will be alight with Ken McMullenÕs work Lumen de Lumine. Projected onto an 80' screen, this will create the largest artwork of its kind ever seen in Europe, linking the worlds of art and science. The event is being hosted by Sir Adrian Montague, Chairman of British Energy in association with Richard Demarco and John Watson.

Members of the public will be able to view this thought provoking artwork which was created by Ken McMullen in association with John Berger and world leading physicists. Originally the film was going to be screened for only 15 minutes however due to public demand the fill will now screen from 7:30pm until midnight constantly. Willie Waddell, Director, Torness Power Station, comments; ÒTorness is a major landmark on the East Lothian coastline, viewed by millions of people passing by road and rail every year.

The projection of Ken McMullen's film is a celebration of the fusion between art and science. It will change peopleÕs concepts of our universe and the amazing changes that are influencing all forms of culture. It is the perfect subject and I am delighted British Energy is involved in such an inspiring projectÓ Richard Demarco comments; ÒThis unique work of art is the result of five years in which Ken McMullen focused on the world of particle physics at CERN, Geneva. This artwork uses the industrial architecture of Torness Nuclear Power Station and the model agricultural land of Skateraw, to create the largest motion picture installation in Europe.Ó On a performance level, Lumen de Lumine is a visual communication arising out of a collaboration between physicists working at the leading edge of our understanding of the laws of nature and the artist Ken McMullen, using radically different art mediums.

German artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) was one of the most influential and charismatic European artists of the twentieth century. He approached art and life as one endeavor, and constantly staged both aspects. This programme surveys several key Action films. They remain important documents which chart Beuys' charismatic examination of the connections between mythic events and magical effects. As a part of this groundbreaking look at the German Artist Joseph Beuys there will be an opportunity to view Ken McMullen's documentary on Joseph Beuys at the Tate Modern on Sundays in February and March.
