Light Show at Auckland Art Gallery
You and I Horizontal by Anthony McCall, 2005.
Rose by Ann Veronica Janssens, 2007.
Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki presents Light Show, New Zealand’s first demonstration of international light-based art from October until February, 2015.
Continuing from its sell-out season at the Hayward Gallery, London, in 2013, the exhibition brings together some of the most visually stimulating artworks created using different forms of light, with rare works not seen for decades and some re-created specially for the exhibition.
The medium of light is explored by major international artists, such as Ann Veronica Janssens and Anthony McCall, in illuminated installations and sculptures from the 1960s to the present. Due to the number of large-scale works, Light Show will be the first exhibition to fill two floors of Auckland Art Gallry since its 2011 expansion and restoration.
