Anthony McCall - ‘Vertical Works’ at Ambika P3, University of Westminster.

Sprüth Magers Berlin London presents a major solo exhibition by Anthony McCall  featuring ‘Vertical Works’ at Ambika P3, University of Westminster.

Over the past five years McCall has explored solid-light works that are oriented vertically – projecting downwards from the ceiling onto the floor, forming 10-metre tall, conical ‘tents’ of light, with a base of about 4 metres. Here, the projected line-drawing on the floor is, quite literally, the footprint of the work, with the three-dimensional ‘body’ rising up from the floor and finally narrowing to a point at the lens of the projector, well-above one’s head. From the point-of-view of the observer, the vertical pieces create a profoundly different type of encounter. Four of these works, are on display in the UK for the first time, presented as a single installation in the Ambika P3 exhibition space. The works are You and I (II)Breath III (2005), Skirt (I)(2010) and Meeting You Halfway (2009) (2005-11).
