The co-curatorial effort of P.S.1 Chief Curator Klaus Biesenbach and artist Doug Aitken, Hard Light brings together works by nine artists who engage in a range of processes of narrative construction. Among other similarities, the works in this exhibition all explore particular qualities of light, or hard light (a film/photography term used to describe a lighting situation that casts a sharp, clearly defined shadow), that contribute to the development of fragmented, or broken, ambient narratives.
