Anthony McCall is, without question, one of the seminal artists of American avant-garde cinema. His films and installations from the seventies such as Line Describing a Cone, Long Film for Four Projectors, and Four Projected Movements, represent an extraordinarily corporeal and sensuous meditation on the medium of film and the politics of the audience's physical and conceptual relationship to it. All of these works took as their starting point the irreducible, necessary conditions of cinema: projected light, and real, three-dimensional space.
Philippe-Alain Michaud, the Film Curator at the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges-Pompidou, writing about Anthony McCall's work stated: "Instead of a perspectival, illusionist space that brings cinema close to painting, McCall's films use a projective space that makes it into sculpture. The film is no longer a projected image that bores a fictive depth into the surface of the wall, but constitutes an actual field that merges with the event of projection itself. In this way Anthony McCall's light-beams, outlined against mist, expanding upon the specifically plastic properties of film, cross the frontiers of cinema history to join the minimalist propositions of 1970s sculpture and rank alongside the geometric structures of Robert Morris, Sol LeWitt or Carl Andre, Dan Flavin's fields of color, or Fred Sandback's spans of colored yarn."
Beginning with Doubling Back in 2003, McCall returned to the 'solid light' form. Since then, with works like Breath, Exchange, and Between You and I, he has developed a group of important new installations which radically expand on the earlier series.
Anthony McCall's work is included in many major public collections worldwide including: the Tate Gallery, London, England; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, United States; the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, United States; the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Spain; and the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, Germany.
Anthony McCall lives and works in New York.

Iran do Espírito Santo was born in Mococa, Brazil in 1963. In 1986 he received a B.A. at the Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado in São Paolo.
One of Brazil's most interesting contemporary artists, Iran is best known for his sensuously minimalist work that deals with issues of place, structure, material, design, and surface with a rigorous conceptual sensibility. His work undertakes a subtle subversion of Minimalism through abstracted everyday items. Iran is concerned with the tactile attributes of his chosen materials and with the sensuous contours of simple abstract forms in space. Working in stainless steel, glass, copper, stone or paint on plaster, he employs subtle illusionistic devices, instigating a play of depth that remains consistent from piece to piece.
In 2002, Sean Kelly Gallery presented the first North American gallery exhibition of his work, which was comprised of wall installations and sculptural works. Since then he has continued to reflect on daily objects and the transformation of industrial design items into iconic minimalist sculptures.
Iran has received international acclaim in the past two decades. His works have been exhibited widely in museums and galleries worldwide; and have been included in the collections of many prominent international museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego. His works have been included in the Venice Biennale, the Bienal de São Paulo, and the Istanbul Biennal. Recent exhibitions have included The Portrait as an Image of the World, Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo and Present Tense at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Iran do Espírito Santo lives and works in São Paulo.
