OPENING: Light, Space, and the Shape of Time
OPENING PROGRAM: 2pm
Join Assistant Curator of Art William Gassaway and featured artist Soo Sunny Park for an illuminating opening talk for the exhibition "Light, Space, and the Shape of Time," delving into the pioneers of the Light and Space movement, their art, and the two generations of artists who have followed. Explore how the visionary artists in this exhibition expand our perceptions of the world around us through their use of light, atmosphere, and optical effects.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Featured artists: Peter Alexander, Neal Ambrose-Smith (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation of Montana), LaTurbo Avedon, Larry Bell, Barbara Bock, Dan Flavin, Jenny Holzer, Robert Irwin, Florence Miller Pierce, August Muth, Michael Namingha (Hopi), Soo Sunny Park, Helen Pashgian, James Turrell, Leo Villareal, and Kumi Yashamita.
"Light, Space, and the Shape of Time" is rooted in the Light and Space movement that took shape in Southern California in the early 1960s. Pushing back against other movements of their time, these artists worked with everyday materials to create experiences that embodied a different understanding of our physical environment.
