...Californian artists in London's Hayward Gallery, smokes plate glass with an opaque tea-like mist, and stands his box on a clear plexiglass base. Robert Irwin, another westerner, showing in Boston for the first time, projects lights on an acrylic semisphere to create an illusionistic, technological flower. David Diao and Philip Wofford texturize their canvases with drips and smudges in the Jackson Pollock tradition. Dan Christensen has painted a coil and glow like neon lights, and Larry Poons has left the confines of his precisely contoured complementary-colored dots and spews them into space.

Most of them were urban ex-bourgeois who had frustrating confrontations with agricultural hard...
...room (made with the help of Universal Television) is a stunning perceptual experience: a pitch-black chamber lined with strobe lights. When they flash, the effect is engulfing and somewhat unnerving: silhouettes etch themselves on the retina as on film, and afterimage sheets of brilliant color drift and flower across the entire field of vision. Mefferd's piece is unique in that it is wholly objectless art -everything happens on and to the retina without mediation...
