Welcome to Light into Space at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, a collaboration with New York’s Dia Art Foundation. For the first time in India, iconic artists from the 1960s and 70s challenge how we see and experience light and space. Experience the spectacular work of artists who rejected conventional techniques and turned industrial materials into sensory experiences. The works at the exhibition are alive, they respond to our presence, to the movement of light, and to the space around them. It is a timeless example of how art isn’t just observed—it’s felt.
Dan Flavin’s fluorescent tubes, Mary Corse’s shimmering microspheres, and Robert Irwin’s immersive environments play with perception, inviting you to see—and be seen. Mirrors distort reality. Shadows shift. Space itself becomes part of the art. “These artists are asking you to look critically and think about how you perceive things. And incorporating the environment into that is a big part of it, explains Jessica Morgan, Nathalie de Gunzburg Director.
Light isn’t just a medium here. It’s alive—glowing, refracting, shifting. “This is art that asks you to move, to engage, to think critically about perception,” says Min Sun Jeon, Assistant Curator at the Dia Art Foundation. “Just step in, play with the works, and let them unfold around you.”
Step inside. Move through the light and become part of the art.
