Phillip K. Smith III: Three Parallels
SMoCA (Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art) presents Phillip K. Smith III who creates a site-specific, commissioned work that highlights changes in perception as related to light, color, time, and space.
The exhibition “Three Parallels” is the seventh in the SMoCA series Architecture + Art, which has commissioned architects and artists over the past 10 years to create site-specific installations that respond to the spatial, environmental, and social context of the Museum. It comprises three monolithic, mirrored volumes that merge light and reflection to create an infinite space for color.
While his work is predominantly based in object-making, it also seamlessly incorporates the environment. Through an invisible use of technology, the gallery projects a future in which our lives have a more symbiotic relationship with the digital realm. The programmed color changes quietly affect the viewer’s relationship to the surrounding architecture. In this new and evolving surrounding, visitors navigate around large mirrors that reflect and project infinite light and shadow.
