Press Release

Your movements and interactions bring artworks to life inside Solid Light, a focused exhibition dedicated to the immersive works of Anthony McCall.

Beams of light projected through a thin mist create large three-dimensional forms in space, which slowly shift and change. As you move through these translucent sculptures of light, you’ll create new shapes and discover your own mesmerising perspectives.

Occupying a space between sculpture, cinema, drawing, and performance, McCall is known for his innovative installations of light. In 1973, his seminal work Line Describing a Cone redefined the possibilities of sculpture.

Anthony McCall is presented in The George Economou Gallery.

Curated by Gregor Muir, Director of Collection, International Art, Tate Modern and Andrew de Brún, Assistant Curator, International Art, Tate Modern.

About the Gallery

Tate Modern is one of the world’s most iconic museums of modern and contemporary art, located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. Occupying the former Bankside Power Station, the museum’s dramatic industrial architecture—most notably its cavernous Turbine Hall—has made it a destination for art lovers and architectural enthusiasts alike.
