October 29, 2022–January 14, 2024

Based in the Southern California desert and often associated with the Light and Space movement of the 1960s, Phillip K. Smith III creates light-based work focused on form, color, space, the environment, and change. Three Parallels comprises three monolithic, mirrored volumes that merge light and reflection to create an infinite space for color.

Artist Phillip K. Smith III returns this spring for a can’t-miss artist talk on May 11; check SMoCA.org/events to reserve your spot!
