David Zwirner is pleased to present a new installation by American artist Doug Wheeler (b. 1939) at our 537 West 20th Street location. This will be the gallery's second solo exhibition of the artist's work. Known for the seminal light environments that he developed in the 1960s and 70s, Wheeler will present a new type of installation that he calls "a rotational horizon work," which will occupy the ground floor gallery. Connected visually and conceptually to his previous works, this immersive environment will emphasize the viewer's physical experience of space, focusing attention on the way light almost imperceptibly changes along the horizon as the earth turns.
