Press Release

Helen Pashgian’s Untitled (Lens) challenges human perception. The feelings evoked by this meditative sculpture and light installation could be likened to those inspired by medieval sacred spaces that, like Pashgian’s work, use light to take the viewer utterly beyond the outside world, energizing and focusing the mind, and creating transformative experiences. This installation is part of the exhibition Lumen: The Art and Science of Light. This exhibition is presented in English and Spanish. Esta exhibición se presenta en inglés y en español.

About the Artist

Helen Pashgian is a pioneer of the Light and Space movement, which originated in the 1960s in Southern California. Inspired by West Coast landscape and culture, the Light and Space artists used unorthodox materials such as polyester resin, cast acrylic, neon and fluorescent light, to capture and transform the ambient and perceptual experience surrounding light, colour and volume. Some artists associated with the movement include Mary Corse, Robert Irwin and James Turrell.
