ANTHONY MCCALL AT CONTEMPORARY ART
MUSEUM ST. LOUIS
September 6, 2013 – December 29,
2013
You and I, Horizontal (II) is the
first solo museum presentation in the Midwest by British-born, New York-based
artist Anthony McCall. A key figure in avant-garde cinema and
contemporary art since the 1970s, McCall has come to focus in recent years on
the digital potential of the moving image, particularly in relation to
sculpture. In CAM’s exhibition, McCall’s digital animation presents a slowly
shifting beam of “solid light” whose physical properties become outlined within
the haze-filled space of the gallery and are further enhanced through viewer
interaction. Exploring light across space and time, this immersive presentation
complements CAM’s concurrent exhibition Place is the Space through the encounter between
projection and architecture.
