"Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Between Matter & Illumination, a group exhibition organized by Marianne Boesky. Featuring work by thirteen artists—spanning mediums, generations, and geographies—Between Matter & Illumination explores the inextricable relationships between life and art.
Between Matter & Illumination draws on Italian sculptor Medardo Rosso’s famed declaration: 'We are nothing but a play of light.' Existence, in Rosso’s view, was neither monumental nor eternal—but rather small, mutable, and inextricably entangled within the very movement of time and space. 'Art,' he believed, 'must be nothing else than the expression of some sudden sensation given to us by light. There are no such things as painting or sculpture. There exists only but life.'"
