Lit (Part I)

We are creatures of light. For millennia, controlled fire was our only retort to the darkness that nature inexorably imposes. Today, our world is built around a bewildering variety of objects that emit light – but we have only just begun to discover the range of what is possible. To this end, I have enlisted over a dozen artists to expand the array of possibilities into new territory. I invited them to indulge their fantasies and create works that emanate ambient light in a manner that drives their highly specialized practices forward. At the heart of this endeavor, is the simple observation that light does not simply exist, it emanates from a source, and I crave a source that is worthy of manifesting the power of light.
