"Radiance. Searching Light" A conversation with Kenneth Janes, Professor of Astronomy, Boston University and artists John Powell and Amy Finkelstein.

Halstead Harris and John Powell are long time friends, while Amy Finkelstein has admired Powell’s works for many years. It is pleasure to have the opportunity to bring their works together. Harris', Finkelstein's and Powell's work share a common bond in their fascination with light as well as their attempt to capture light in a variety of forms as art language. This journey in search of luminosity has taken them to different paths but always arriving at the question of the immateriality of light, the ephemeral and elusive quality of light. The three artists are engaged in investigations that at times appear whimsical as if a child is playing in the dark with flash lights capturing rich masses of emanecent spaces constructed and defined by light. Their careful and close attention is required so we could witness the delicate and almost invisible passage of time. Been the work of massive public scale as Powell work, or intimate scale on Finkelstein or Harris these artists' projects translate a hypnotic rhythm of time.
