Instant Coffee presents Light Bar, a full-spectrum light bar installation and venue for light therapy, light lectures, light shows, light reading and light rock. Instant Coffee's Light Bar is an ongoing art project that investigates the potential and power of light. the artists come to this idea through necessity; living in Vancouver, where the rain can seem endless, the negative effects of the lack of sunlight on individual psyches and the large social milieu feel at times paramount. The use of light as therapy or as remedy for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is commonly and effectively used by individuals, but for Light Bar, Instant Coffee puts it to the test in small or large group situations.
Instant Coffee is a service oriented artist collective based in Toronto and Vancouver. Through formal installation san devent-based activities, it builds a public space to practice, where ideas, materials and actions can be explored outside of the isolated studio and in a manner that renegotiates traditional exhibition structures, but is still supported by them.
Instant Coffee's most consistent members are: Cecilia Berkovic, Jinhan Ko, Kelly Lycan, Jenifer Papararo, Kate Munro and Khan Lee.
