“The Light Lights | Space is about the intangible and varying experiences from the reflection and shadow of light in space. With a thin layer of paper, light defines the shape itself and draws its boundary with the shadow in space. Reflections and shadows shown through the surface of the paper break down the boundaries of dimensional space, creating smooth and firm connections within it.

Through April 25th artist Torkwase Dyson will present a solo exhibition entitled I Can Drink the Distance at the The Cooper Union’s Gallery at 41 Cooper Square. Dyson is the Spring 2019 Robert Gwathmey Chair in Architecture and Art at The Cooper Union. The exhibition “considers how the body unifies, balances, and arranges itself to move through built environments. Attuned to the shape patterns of industry—from the history of global trade to contemporary colonization and extraction—Dyson thinks through the various ways humans oppose the violence of these synergistic systems with methods of improvisation and spatial planning.” More on the exhibition HERE.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Dyson will give a lecture on Tuesday, April 2, in the Cooper Union’s Great Hall, more info HERE.
