Here is a great collection of works from Dan Flavin at David Zwirner Gallery, and no matter what your perception is of the installation the artists puts it into simple context for you.
“It is what it is, and it ain’t nothin’ else Everything is clearly, openly, plainly delivered. There is no overwhelming spirituality you are supposed to come into contact with. I like my use of light to be openly situational in the sense that there is no invitation to meditate, to contemplate. It’s in a sense a “get-in-get-out” situation. And it is very easy to understand. One might not think of light as a matter of fact, but I do. And it is, as I said, as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find”
