> DESCRIPTION

Anthony McCall will present three vertical 'solid-light' works - Breath, 2004, Breath III, 2005 and Meeting You Halfway, 2009 - each of which is being shown in the United States for the first time. The works will be exhibited quarter-scale, in maquette form, projected from the ceiling onto pedestals. As a group, the vertical projected works continue McCall's exploration of sculptural form, durational structure, and the possibility of representing the corporeal, which began in 1973 with his seminal film, Line Describing a Cone.

Finnbogi Pétursson will present Earth, 1994-2009, a transfixing installation that utilizes sound, light and shadow. Pétursson will flood the main gallery, employing low frequency sound to continually move the water. The reflections radiating from the piece form an ever-changing environment in the gallery, creating a deeply compelling installation. In an additional work, Dream, 2004 – installed in Gallery One - Pétursson channels low frequency sound through a large, clear bowl of water, creating reverberations on the water's surface. Light projected from beneath the bowl onto the ceiling, creates luminous undulating patterns. As the sound changes, the patterns of the projection fluctuate and evolve. Pétursson says: "I am always trying to capture phenomena, such as sound, water, fire, shadow and light, and channel them along new grooves, turn them into something other than what they are. These are phenomena that you feel and think about, but never see."
