James Turrell, Olafur Eliasson, Spencer Finch Exhibition
Dickinson Roundell
This event has ended.
Dickinson shows a body of work which will confront the perception, memory and misconception of light and darkness.
Los Angeles born James Turrell has been concerned with the relationship between space and light for the past 50 years. Many of his installations form a subtle trompe-l'œil in which he manipulates light within a controlled space in order to create the appearance of a canvas or a tangible object, when in reality, the viewer is simply seeing a projected light.
Olafur Eliasson may be best known for his large scale projects including the installation of artificial waterfalls along the East River in New York, during the summer of 2008. His 2003 "Weather Project" resulted in a recreation of sunlight in the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern, London. Dickinson will be installing "Your repetitive view", a work which distorts and condenses the light and sound of the outside world and transfers it into the gallery, in the form of a giant kaleidoscope.
Spencer Finch works with a multitude of mediums ranging from watercolor and photography, to video and artificial light installations. Most recently, he exhibited at Mass MoCA in his own solo show, Spencer Finch: "What Time Is It On the Sun?". Mainly concerned with memory and perception, Finch has made installations which aim to recall a specific light from an exact time and place. The works at Dickinson will include three lightboxes testing the color of remembered darknesses and three watercolors documenting the darkness of the famous caves at Lascaux.
