GOLDEN ARRAY: Grimanesa Amorós Creates New Monumental Light Sculpture
Commissioned by The Reliance Group and Maker Maxity.
Mumbai – GOLDEN ARRAY, a large-scale, site-specific light sculpture by artist Grimanesa Amorós has opened to the public in India at JioWorld Drive, Mumbai’s premium retail district in Bandra Kurla Complex.
Amorós’ masterpiece, GOLDEN ARRAY, was inspired by her journey through India. India’s bustling streets are synonymous with its zigzagging cable lines- a complex collection of wires powering entire cities and towns with electricity and telecommunication. Tangled, yet functional. Beyond utility, they form an integral part of the urban blueprint. This powerful imagery fascinated Amorós.
GOLDEN ARRAY adds to these many communication layers by inviting the viewer to imagine and reflect on the elaborate array that interconnects us. The piece will activate the skyline of Jio World Drive at Bandra Kurla Complex as a tribute to the buzzing city Mumbai.

“There’s a certain Slant of light” is the first line of a poem of the same name written by American poet and writer Emily Dickinson back in 1861. The poem likens winter sunlight to cathedral music and considers the spiritual effects of the light. Light has been a theme throughout history for poets, writers and artists, and Peruvian-American artist has taken this theme to an experiential level. More than using light to illuminate her work, light is her main medium, which she controls through a complicated and intricate proprietary computer system that allows her to choreograph rays of light in various color hues to hypnotic music. This interdisciplinary artist is known for her large-scale light sculpture installations that incorporate elements from sculpture, video, drawings, printing and technology to create site-specific installations that engage architecture and captivate viewers. Amorós’ ephemeral and transcendent works reflect her Peruvian heritage and the communities where the artwork lives, and aims to bring communities
together and build a bridge between the past, present and future. Grimanesa Amorós
“LIGHT IS EPHEMERAL,
AND I LOVE THE FACT
THAT EVERY PERSON CAN
CONNECT TO IT—PEOPLE HAVE
A RELATIONSHIP AND
ATTACHMENT TO LIGHT.”

The sun is an important star and has been for centuries. During my stay in Civita di Bagnoregio, I woke up early one morning and decided to explore my new surroundings. During my stroll, I was dazzled at the strength of the sun beaming on the square. It got me thinking about the town of Civita, it’s history, and it’s relation to the sun. I began researching about The Etruscan’s, who were an ancient people that founded the city, and the remnants of their civilization still linger. The name of this piece is CETHA, which was inspired by the town and its past, translating to sun in Etruscan. CETHA has red lighting with pink hues in its sequence, which represents the sunrise that burns red in the morning and streams its light throughout the town.
