Challenge everyday perceptions with cutting-edge yet visually dreamy artworks by American Light & Space artists John Chamberlain, Mary Corse, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Nancy Holt, Robert Irwin, and Robert Smithson, along with French artist François Morellet.

"It's a constant, continuous, spectacular world we live in, and every day you see things that just knock you out, if you pay attention.” American artist Robert Irwin had once famously said. Paying closer attention to find the spectacular in the invisible was at the heart of the Light & Space art movement — a revolutionary visual art ethos of the 1960s and 70s of which Irwin was a pioneering member. Six decades later, you can step into a luminous dreamscape that evokes ephemeral visions with seminal artworks of Irwin and his colleagues – John Chamberlain, Mary Corse, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Nancy Holt, Robert Smithson, and François Morellet. 

Originating in Southern California in the early 1960s, the Light and Space movement uses light as both a concept and a material to create immersive experiences that interact with the audience, challenging fixed perceptions of reality. ‘Light into Space’ – NMACC’s sixth landmark exhibit at the Art House – shines a light on the works of some of the most popular counter-culture artists from this period, brought together in India for the very first time by the New York-based Dia Art Foundation. 

Spread across four floors, the visually stunning artworks draw life from immersive environments and industrial material like fluorescent lights, polished metal & plastic, and large-scale installations involving mirrors, lights & reflective paint to create a sensorial exploration that will alter the way you experience art. Moving beyond the traditional canvas and established forms like paintings and sculptures, this exhibit renders your interactions with each piece participatory, unique, and irreplicable!

Offering more than just visual art, ‘Light into Space’ brings together visionary works that push the boundaries of art. Founded with the goal of supporting ambitious projects that might otherwise remain unrealized due to their scale or complexity, Dia Art Foundation has curated this exhibition to explore the limitless possibilities of light and space. Come, immerse yourself in a world of enchanting, transformative experiences that will challenge the way your perceive the world around you! 

Tickets starting from INR 199; Combo ticket with ‘Infinity Room’ from INR 249

Entry to this exhibition is free for senior citizens, children under 7, and students of fine arts, design and architecture. Book your free ticket online.
