Sculpting Light: Tour of Chryssa and Ando

REGISTER

In their respective practices, Chryssa and Tadao Ando each articulate a fascination with the relationship between visibility and obscurity. Chryssa's relief sculptures and 'static light' theory resonate with Ando's architectural choreography of illumination and shadow, underscoring the importance of darkness, which he states "kindles the brilliance of light." In this tour, Ashley Janke, Assistant Curator at Wrightwood 659, emphasizes the shared belief between artist and architect in the intrinsic power of light to define and transform space and form.
