Anthony McCall: Two major exhibitions

Two major solo exhibitions are being devoted to Anthony McCall, one at the Tate Modern and the second exhibition at the Guggenheim Bilbao. McCall’s “solid-light” installations occupy a space between line-drawing, cinema, and sculpture: fundamentally graphic, they are realized through the mediums of film or digital projection and the effect created is that of largescale, three dimensional sculptures composed of shifting membranes of light. Viewing becomes an active process of moving around and through the projected object, exploring it from different points of view. In 1973, his seminal work Line Describing a Cone redefined the possibilities of sculpture.
