Open Sky presents the work of three contemporary artists who take on light and space as both material and subject to encourage us to reconsider our place in the universe. 

Taking a cue from James Turrell’s Dividing the Light at Pomona College—a keystone work in the Benton Museum of Art collection and the only public Skyspace in Southern California—Open Sky explores the potential of somatically affective work to investigate our embodied relationship to the universe. The artists in this exhibition—Xin Liu, Agnieszka Polska, Marcus Zúñiga, and the duo of Malik Gaines and Alexandro Segade—fluidly engage scientific and artistic languages to stage experiential explorations of what it means to be human at this precarious moment.
