A must set of shows to check out: Michael Somoroff’s Illumination at 508 W. 26th on the ground floor (BravinLee programs Off Site) and Illumination I at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Also in today’s New York Times, there’s a wonderful and insightful article by Elizabeth Bard entitled A 50-Year-Old Upstart Redefines ‘Emerging’, all about Michael and his work.
I was fortunate to get a sneak peak at the video installation on 26th St. yesterday and it gave me chills. Definitely an awe inspiring show. Check out more on Michael at his website: michaelsomoroff.com

Great post, I've actually been thinking alot about light lately and in the context of my upcoming Italy trip, Michael's work is really great for me to look at! I'll be sure to check out the opening at BravinLee...:)
