New York-based artist Anthony McCall will be in Wellington next week to open his exhibition Anthony McCall: Drawing with Light at Victoria University's Adam Art Gallery.

A headline event in the 2010 NZ International Arts Festival's visual arts programme, the exhibition will transform the striking architectural spaces of the Adam Art Gallery with the artist's 'solid light' installations.

Media is invited to the Adam Art Gallery's official exhibition launch to be opened by Tyler Cann, Curator of the Len Lye Archive at New Plymouth's Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, on Tuesday 23 February at 6pm. The artist Anthony McCall will also be present.

Special media previews of the exhibition will be available during the day on Tuesday 23 February by appointment.

The artist will be available for interviews on the morning of Monday 22 February.
