Phenomenologies of projection, aesthetics of transition: Symposium with Artist Talk and Roundtable + Solo show
Using atmospheric haze and film projectors, the artist Anthony McCall creates beautiful, visually captivating light sculptures that explore ideas of architecture, duration and embodiment. Invoking comparisons to natural formations like waterfalls and moonlight, McCall's subtly-moving luminous projections invite visitors to step into the light, using their bodies to alter the shimmering forms. Experience the subtle poetics of McCall's rarely exhibited Solid Light films at a special two-day event at the University of Chicago, featuring works on both celluloid film and digital media. This exhibition and its related symposium turn a critical spotlight onto key moments in an artistic career that has moved with singular coherence between the aesthetics of an analog and a digital media paradigm.
