Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre opened the doors to its sixth landmark visual art exhibit ‘Light into Space’ at the Art House with an exclusive preview night attended by a melee of cultural enthusiasts.
Curated by the New-York based Dia Art Foundation, the showcase shines a light on the pathbreaking Light & Space art movement, a revolutionary visual art ethos of the 1960s and 70s originating in Southern California. The works of iconic American artists like John Chamberlain, Mary Corse, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Nancy Holt, Robert Irwin, Robert Smithson, and French artist François Morellet occupy four floors of NMACC’s dedicated visual arts space, using the dynamic interplay of light and environment to create immersive experiences that interact with the audience and challenge fixed perceptions of reality.
‘Light into Space’ was unveiled by Ms. Isha Ambani in the presence of Jessica Morgan, Nathalie de Gunzburg Director and Curator, and Min Sun Jeon, Assistant Curator at Dia Art Foundation, along with other esteemed delegates. Brought together as a comprehensive exhibit in India for the very first time, the visually stunning artworks at this exhibit draw life from illusive environment and industrial materials like fluorescent lights, polished metal & plastic, and large-scale installations involving mirrors, lights & reflective paint to create a sensorial exploration that will alter the way one experiences art. Moving beyond the traditional canvas and established forms like paintings and sculptures, this showcase renders your interactions with each piece participatory, unique, and irreplicable!
‘Light into Space’ will remain on view till 11th May 2025 at the Art House.
Tickets starting from INR 199; Combo ticket with ‘Infinity Room’ from INR 249
Entry to this exhibition is free for senior citizens, children under 7, and students of fine arts, design and architecture.
