On the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, Oklahoma Contemporary announces a landmark partnership with London’s Tate Modern to present Anthony McCall: Solid Light. This North American premiere marks a historic moment in Oklahoma’s cultural landscape, bringing McCall’s immersive light sculptures — described as “cinema without film” — to the heartland for the very first time. “This historic collaboration affirms our commitment to presenting world-class contemporary art and creates a rare opportunity for our audiences to engage with one of the most influential artists of our time,” said Executive Director Trent Riley.
A pioneer of experimental film and installation, McCall transforms light into living architecture. Visitors will walk through sculptural beams made of mist and projected light in a rare, sensory experience decades in the making. The exhibition also includes film, photography and archive material documenting McCall’s extraordinary practice. “This idea of solid light, it is real,” said Gregor Muir, co-curator for the exhibition at Tate Modern. “It’s an interesting moment when you turn the corner, come in and see these works appearing as though these are sculptures in space. Anthony in many respects is almost like the Richard Serra of light. He is creating these gorgeous, geometric, very minimal works out of nothing other than projected light and some mist, and it’s astonishing the end result.”
