Currently based in Manhattan, New York, Anthony McCall (b.1946, St. Paul's Cray, England) is a pivotal artist renowned for his work spanning sculpture, cinema, and drawing. He is best known for his groundbreaking "Solid Light" installations, which have earned international acclaim. Since the debut of his seminal work Line Describing a Cone in 1973, McCall has continued to shape light into slowly evolving, three-dimensional forms that occupy space like sculpture — inviting viewers not just to watch, but to physically engage with the work. As a pioneer of 1970s experimental ­lm and performance art, McCall broke away from traditional modes of cinematic viewing by transforming projected light into "sculptural volumes," inviting viewers to physically walk through the spaces shaped by darkness and haze — reframing the relationship between vision, presence, and time.

Anthony McCall: Meeting You Halfway is McCall’s ­rst major solo presentation in Taiwan, presented by the Fubon Art Museum. Spanning ­ve decades of his career, the exhibition includes early performancebased ­lm Landscape for Fire (1972), four representative horizontal "Solid Light" installations, and one vertical installation. The exhibition includes preparatory drawings, photographic works, and archival materials, collectively constructing an immersive experience that integrates cinema, sculpture, architecture, and drawing.

Visitors are invited to move through the projected beams of light, allowing their bodies to interact with and become part of the work. Landscape for Fire, the exhibition’s opening piece, demonstrates McCall’s ability to transform natural elements into ritual and structure, foreshadowing his later, in-depth investigations into space, time, and perception. His preparatory drawings and related documents reveal the conceptual and formal experimentation that preceded his sculptural light practice, underscoring the rigorous logic and poetic language behind his creative process.

Fubon Art Museum warmly invites you to step into this space where light and stillness converge — and embark on a journey into the landscapes of your own inner self.
