Five Pioneering Artists Present Immersive Installations Across Global Venues

Jenny Holzer returns to New York's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum with Light Line, reimagining her 1989 LED installation to ascend Frank Lloyd Wright's rotunda until September 29, 2024. At Dia Beacon in New York, Steve McQueen's Bass combines jazz scores by Afro-diasporic musicians with shifting light until April 14, 2025, creating sensory reflections on transatlantic history. Barbara Kasten transforms the De La Warr Pavilion in Sussex through September 1 with Site Lines, using architectural props and changing weather to choreograph light and shadow. Jaume Plensa's stainless steel figure The House of Light and Love at Taipei's Fubon Art Museum embeds multilingual text celebrating tolerance. Larry Bell's largest outdoor commission, Reds and Whites at the Phoenix Museum of Art, shatters his signature cube form into reflective corners. These five installations exemplify how contemporary artists create ephemeral, participatory experiences that invite viewers inside the artwork itself.
