Organized by Curator Marc Mayer for the New Room of Contemporary Art, this site-specific projected light installation by French artist Michel Verjux is the artist's first project for a North American museum. Transforming the Gallery's "black box" auditorium into a lighthouse, Verjux used his signature spot lights to connect the 1962 structure by Gordon Bunshaft to E.B. Green's building of 1905. In an elegant and simple way, and using the most ephemeral of media--light--Verjux exposed hidden affinities of scale, shape, and proportion between these very different approaches to architecture. A daytime element was on view in the Abstract Expressionist Gallery, while the rest of the work was visible outdoors after sundown. The exhibition is made possible, in part, through a grant from Etant Donnés, the French-American Endowment for Contemporary Art and the generous support of the Campos Group.
