WASHINGTON, DC.- The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden presents "Refract, Reflect, Project: Light Works from the Collection," a new installation of works created by international artists from the late 1950s to the present. The exhibition is on view through April 8 and features objects from the collection in which light—as substance and subject—is central. While the artworks vary in medium and approach, the common use of light gives viewers the opportunity to explore decades of art historical production from a fresh point of view in an engaging environment accessible to all audiences.
