The movement of light is explored through image sequences and installation in the newest Space 204 exhibition, Apparent Light. On display from Thursday, March 1, though Thursday, March 29, 2012, Rebecca Cummins’ work investigates what she calls “the sculptural, experiential and sometimes humorous possibilities of light and natural phenomena.”

A public reception will be held Thursday, March 1, from 4 to 6 p.m.

Space 204 is sponsored by the Vanderbilt University Department of Art and is located on the second floor of the E. Bronson Ingram Studio Art Center, 25th Avenue South and Garland on the Vanderbilt campus. All exhibitions are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cummin’s work often references the history of science and optical devices and, according to the artist, has incorporated “rainbow machines, paranoid dinner table devices, video rifles, photographs, video, sundials and site-specific portable camera obscuras.”
