The Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, a multidisciplinary arts space at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai, has unveiled a first-of-its-kind visual art exhibition. Titled Light Into Space, the immersive exhibition showcases thought-provoking works of light and space artists from the 1960s and 1970s. Curated by the New York-based Dia Art Foundation, the exhibition, spread over four floors of NMACC's dedicated visual arts space, includes works of iconic American artists like John Chamberlain, Mary Corse, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Nancy Holt, Robert Irwin, Robert Smithson, and French artist François Morellet.

Honouring the visual art ethos of the 1960s and 70s originating in Southern California, the exhibition is curated as a dynamic interplay of light and environment to create immersive experiences that interact with the audience and challenge fixed perceptions of reality.
