Artist Anthony McCall - Good Stuff

Doubling Back Anthony McCall's projected light installation returns for an encore at Western Bridge. First seen in our exhibition Insubstantial Pageant Faded, Doubling Back is a projected Flash animation of two intersecting sine waves, rendered in white on a black background. Projected in a haze-filled space, the lines become visible solids, making inhabitable, albeit virtual, spaces. The piece is based on the artist's realization that a projector's beam has inherent sculptural qualities, first explored in seminal works such as Line Describing a Cone (1973). Mary Temple's Raise displays a formal relation to McCall's diagonal "solid light"; further, in each work, an extravagant realism undercuts (or amplifies?) our perceptual confidence, sending us deep into Plato's cave.

Although McCall is not a photographer, he absolutely works with and pays attention to light in a manner that is simply phenomenal.
