Imagine: "Let There Be Light" - watch this show!

Last night's edition of the BBC1 arts show Imagine was called Let There Be Light; it dealt with artists whose medium is light, and featured work by Anthony McCall, whose exhibition in the Serpentine Gallery I raved about and James Turrell, who I also raved about, repeatedly.

I loved this show: I think it was made for me. Turrell featured extensively. I wanted to go to Roden Crater for a long time; now, I really, really want to go there. I think I might try to tie in a visit to Houston, too.

I can't recommend this show enough. You can watch it on iPlayer. Watch it. Get your tv-phobic hedgehogs to watch it. It is beautiful.

Edit: one of the artists discussed in the programme is United Visual Artists (UVA). I've been looking at their website. I particularly like this installation at the V&A - look at the video and this dance at Tate Modern. Beautiful.
