Sean Kelly is delighted to present New Solid Light Works and Early Drawings, Anthony McCall’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Occupying the entire gallery, the exhibition features two new ‘solid-light’ installations on the first floor, and a survey of black and white photographs, works on paper and preparatory drawings that span McCall’s career on the third floor. 

"My pieces require that your actual body be there in the flesh in the flesh, in the present. And active." - Anthony McCall

“For me, the sublime carries ideas of awe in the face of unbounded, amorphous space.” - Anthony McCall

“Solid-light pieces have their own narrative changes, so there’s a sort of dance going on between the sculptural act of taking yourself around to see what’s going on in three dimensions, and engaging with the fact that the piece itself is shifting–that you are dealing with an unstable object.” - Anthony McCall
