Inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s and Roni Horn’s explorations of natural light, Spencer Finch has organized this evening of demonstration and discussion, featuring architectural lighting designer Richard Renfro, artist Walead Beshty, and writer and critic Lytle Shaw, for a look at how artists and scientists play and experiment with light.
This event is free with Museum admission, which is pay-what-you-wish on Fridays, 6–9 pm. Advance reservations are recommended, as space is limited.
