| THEME |
Using the theme of “light as sculptural material,” the exhibition will feature dynamic new work by emerging and underexposed international artists whose primary material will be various forms of light—natural and artificial. Influenced by the pioneers of light sculpture from the ‘60s and ‘70s, these younger artists have expanded the use of light as sculptural form to engage issues of perception, memory, energy and power. |

|
| CONTENT |
Artificial Light will feature new sculpture and installations by Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, Spencer Finch, Ceal Floyer, Iván Navarro, Nathaniel Rackowe and Douglas Ross. |
