Anthony McCall (London 1946) is seen as one of the main representatives of the avant-garde movements in the visual arts and the cinema of the 1970s. With his work, McCall explores the most basic elements of cinema: light and projection. His installations are possessed of a breathtaking beauty as well as crystalclear simplicity.
His large light projections are at once space-filling, three-dimensional sculptures and ephemeral drawings. McCall’s work has inspired an entire generation of artists who work with film and installations.

After major presentations in leading museums worldwide, EYE now presents McCall’s first exhibition in the Netherlands. In this publication, McCall explains his cinematic sculptures in an interview, and his work is placed in both a historical and a contemporary context.
