Light experienced

It could be said that Robert Irwin is the artist who lifted the explorations of Rothko and Newman from the canvas and into the world of the whole body. Irwin paved the way for artists like Dan Flavin, James Turrell and more recently Olafur Eliasson with experiential works designed to place the viewer in direct contact with the phenomena employed. His dexterity with light is masterful and, as evidenced by the two pieces in this show, ruthlessly economical. There is not a single element or gesture beyond those essential to the experience he proposes. In the marvelous biography Seeing Is Forgetting The Name Of The Thing One SeesErwin's preoccupation with phenomenological philosophy is regularly referred to. That these works go far beyond their own physical limits is self evident. That Erwin's work endures in the mind, becomes part of the viewer's idea of the world is clear evidence of how important it is. Until August the 17th.
