SANTA MONICA, CA.- Kayne Griffin Corcoran presents its inaugural exhibition of work by James Turrell. Kayne Griffin Corcoran is a new partnership between Bill Griffin, James Corcoran, and Maggie Kayne. In 1966, Turrell began experimenting with light in his Santa Monica studio, the Mendota Hotel. By covering the windows and only allowing prescribed amounts of light from the street outside to shine through the openings, Turrell created his first light projections. Shortly thereafter, he began using halogen projectors to beam light across darkened rooms into corner spaces. From a distance the projected shapes appeared solid, but as viewers moved closer the forms revealed themselves to be nothing more than light cast against ordinary flat walls. Two Projections, Carn White (1967) and Phantom Blue (1968), will be included in this exhibition. In the main gallery, Present Tense, a Space Division Construction from 1991 read full article
