CLEVELAND, OHIO.- The exhibition Into the Light: The Projected Image in American Art, 1964-1977 opens today at the Cleveland Museum of Art, on view until September 8, 2002. The projected image, whether digital or film-based, is a ubiquitous element in today’s cutting-edge art. This show investigates the genesis of this crucial art form, featuring 16 film, video, and slide-based installations by Vito Acconci, Anthony McCall, Robert Morris, Burce Nauman, Dennis Oppenheim and several other pioneers of process and Body Art. Into the Light looks at the critical period in American art from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s — a decade that produced some of the first and most significant moving image installations in the history of modern art. Many of these installations, known more by reputation than through actual experience, have not been seen since they were first exhibited in the 1960s and 1970s. Into the Light, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, is the first museum exhibition to assemble such a large number of these classic pieces.
