Light and Space IIIRobert Irwin, 2008
From the IMA: To celebrate its 125th anniversary, the IMA commissioned Irwin to create Light and Space III, which transforms the experience of entering the Museum’s galleries. Responding to the specific configuration of Pulliam Great Hall, Irwin arranged fluorescent light bulbs in an irregular grid pattern across the walls surrounding the escalators, with a veil of scrim framing each side. The combination of lights and semi-transparent scrim engages the entire architectural space in a kind of abstract composition, which shifts according to the viewer’s changing vantage point and plays with one’s perception of the space around them. via
