PRESENTATION

   Grace Light



San Francisco-Based nonprofit Illuminate and Grace Cathedral present  Grace Light, a site-specific, large-scale immersive light installation created by George Zisiadis, with an original score composed by Gabriel Gold.

As light emanates from the eaves directly above Grace Cathedral's famed labyrinth, visitors look upward through a light atmospheric haze and are enveloped in a 100-foot-tall shifting curtain of light. Visitors will lie down within the labyrinth or stand just outside it and be led on a 15-minute journey of light and sound. Through  Grace Light, the artists hope to create a space for contemplation.

Presenters

Ben Davis  i s the Founder, President & CEO of Illuminate. For more than a quarter century, Ben has led communications on civic mega projects and matters of public safety, public health, public transit, the environment, urban revitalization and public art. Illuminate rallies large groups of people together to create impossible works of public art that, through awe, free humanity's better nature. The San Francisco based nonprofit's flagship project, The Bay Lights, is a permanent site-specific light sculpture on the Bay Bridge. Illuminate is also catalyst and presenter of Photosynthesis, a multimedia art installation projected onto the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. More than 20 million people directly experience Illuminate's work annually.

George Zisiadis, artist, Grace Light. Growing up in New York City instilled in George a lifelong love of the commons. It led him to focus on large scale, site specific public art installations. He strives to create spaces of communal transcendence and joy that are open to all. His work is conceptually driven with each project involving different media and cross-disciplinary teams.
