Event Details

Jennifer Sonderby

Before teamLab. Before Meow Wolf. Before immersive Van Gogh. There was Anthony McCall.

In 1973, he created the first ‘solid light’ installation, projecting light through haze to form 3D sculptures you can walk through, touch, and become part of.

50+ years later, it’s still revolutionary.

See the OG immersive art experience this Saturday at our opening reception (2-5pm, Gallery 308). FREE and open to all.
