California Light and Space Exhibition – November 2, 2024
The California Light and Space movement, which began in the 1960s in Southern California, revolutionized the art world by emphasizing how light, space, and perception can be used to create immersive experiences. This unique movement reshaped modern artistic practices, with artists such as James Turrell, Robert Irwin, Helen Pashgian, Mary Corse, Peter Alexander, and Larry Bell at the forefront. These artists experimented with industrial materials like glass, neon, and resin to challenge traditional notions of space, perception, and the viewer’s experience with art.

The Honarkar Foundation for Arts & Culture’s upcoming exhibition, curated by Genevieve Williams, brings together key works from these pioneers of the movement. Viewers tuning in to the live broadcast will be guided through the exhibition, experiencing firsthand how these visionary artists manipulated light and materials to create works that blur the line between the physical and the ethereal.
In addition to the exhibition walkthrough, the broadcast will feature a special In Conversation segment. Laddie John Dill, an integral figure in the Light and Space movement, will discuss his personal journey and contributions to the movement alongside Dr. Julia Friedman, a respected art historian. Their conversation will provide valuable insights into the historical context of the movement, its evolution, and its lasting influence on contemporary art practices.

Christian Sampson’s Ocean Ions Performance – November 9, 2024
As part of Laguna Art Museum’s celebrated annual Art + Nature series, Christian Sampson’s Ocean Ions is a site-specific installation that explores the intersection of art, science, and the environment. The installation draws inspiration from the behavior of ions—molecules that gain or lose electrical charges through movement. Through his use of light and vibrant circular sculptures, Sampson creates a visual representation of these invisible forces at work in nature.

The live broadcast from Main Beach in Laguna Beach will allow viewers to experience Sampson’s work in real time. Accompanying the installation will be a mesmerizing performance by dancers from the Volta Collective, who will interact with Sampson’s vibrant sculptures in harmony with the natural landscape. The synergy between the dancers, the art, and the ocean backdrop will create an awe-inspiring sensory experience, blending human expression with the rhythms of nature.
Sampson’s innovative use of light and space often draws comparisons to the California Light and Space movement. However, his work is firmly rooted in the present, utilizing cutting-edge technology and environmental themes to create a dynamic connection between art and science. His previous exhibitions, including at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Sarasota Museum of Art in Florida, have earned him international acclaim for his ability to craft immersive, multi-sensory environments.
