”SA MI 75 DZ NY 12”
 Doug Wheeler

David Zwirner Gallery, 519 W19th St., NYC

“Doug Wheeler has achieved something that defies comprehension in his illuminating large-scale installation currently housed at David Zwirner Gallery. Along with James Turrell and Robert Irwin, Wheeler, age 72, is considered a pioneer of the light and space movement that took place during the 1960s and ’70s in southern California. Dogmatic to a fault, Wheeler has turned down numerous offers from galleries and museums to represent and exhibit his work. As a result, New Yorkers are sadly Wheeler-deficient. SA MI 75 DZ NY 12, named to reference an earlier work he erected in Milan in 1975, is the fourth “infinity environment” created by the artist. The cerebral piece places limited quantities of gallery goers (if the artist had his way it would be one at a time) in an all-white room where day-to-night lighting is simulated in continual succession. While it doesn’t sound like much, the costly-to-produce piece is incredibly provocative and must be experienced to be believed.” - Mindy Bond, Flavorpill
