Seven years ago, the Walker Art Center held a massive Light-Motion-Space exhibition that featured scores of flashing, popping, gyrating, spinning artworks created from light. Since that noisy, popular, seductive showing, however, the Walker has stayed clear of so-called light art.
Now, once again, the Walker galleries are darkened for the seductiveness of light in motion. But with a huge difference.
This show, called Projected Images, features six artists and only eight works, each of them making up a separate environment. It at least partially answers the question of what happened to light as a source of art.
