This book explores the resurgence of interest among younger artists in working with light as a material. With sixty-three color illustrations, "Artificial Light" features new sculpture and installations by the international artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, Spencer Finch, Ceal Floyer, Ivn Navarro, Nathaniel Rackowe, and Douglas Ross. Influenced by the pioneers of light sculpture from the 1960s and 1970s, including Dan Flavin, James Turrell, and Bruce Nauman, this younger generation expands the use of light to address issues of perception, memory, energy, and power.

The exhibition's curator, John B. Ravenal, contributes an introduction on the use of light in art along with individual essays describing each artist's work. Additional essays by two guest authors place these artists' work in the context of light-based art by their predecessors and peers.

"As we struggle to navigate and discern the sensory-charged spaces, we construct asociations while marveling at surface effects." - Margaret Richardson, Art Papers
