Erwin Redl, MATRIX II (installation view), 2000, light-emitting diode installation, Museum Purchase with funds from the MCASD International Collectors and The Annenberg Foundation. Photography by Pablo Mason.

Erwin Redl: MATRIX II is the premiere showing of the artist’s theatrical scale light-emitting diode (or LED) artwork since it was acquired by MCASD in 2007. This room-size work offers viewers a space that seems to recede in all directions, as if the walls were mirrored. Floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall, the room is filled with grids of phosphor green LEDs, creating an immersive web of light.

MATRIX II was acquired by MCASD with funds from the International Collectors and the Annenberg Foundation. The exhibition is sponsored by MCASD's International Collectors.
