Luminale 2016 – Biennale of Lighting Culture
2016, March 13 – 18
Register now – up until 2015, September 15. Pre-registration for Luminale 2016
For more than 12 years now, Luminale has been held every two years, alongside the Light+Building trade fair. With its 250.000 visitors at the last event (in 2014), it is now firmly established internationally as the Biennale of Lighting Culture. Luminale forms the evening programme for the 210.000 visitors of Light+Building. The combination of trade fair and city event transforms Frankfurt into a unique centre for lighting-related issues and brings together the “who is who†in the sector from manufacturers to designers and artists. It is an opportunity to see and be seen; an opportunity that occurs – in this -concentrated form, at least – only once every two years during Light+Building. A shuttle service links the fair ground and the city. Luminale is a platform for ideas and innovations that relate to lighting, energy efficiency, the application of new technologies and materials and to the quality of life in our cities. Participation in Luminale is a tried and tested instrument for gaining public attention.
How do I set about participating?
