Description

Made under the hot sun and blue skies of California, 'Light and Space' artserves as an early model for some of the most radical and ground-breakingart forms of the last century: immateriality and the site-specific installation,as well as situationist and participatory art. The movement's fascinationwith colour, and its manipulation in space, serves as a very different kindof minimalism, a movement often thought of as simply the embodimentof austere, mathematical abstractions.
