For his solo project at the Art Institute, Finch has created a solar-powered "lunar lander module" that uses energy from sunlight to power a geodesic dome-shaped object——a "buckyball" that resembles the carbon molecules named for visionary architect Buckminster Fuller——positioned on top of the lander. Installed on the open-air Bluhm Family Terrace, Lunar will glow during the evening hours the color of moonlight——the exact light measured from the full moon over Chicago in July 2011. On glow through April 8, 2012.

At once grand and subtle, Spencer Finch’s light-based installations bridge an actual locale with a recalled memory. Rather than depict a scene’s physical contours, Finch evokes the moment and mood of a place by controlling the quality of light, color, or other sensory information. In this way, he translates one physical experience into an analogous aesthetic incident.
