After this week’s visit, we now have hundreds of reasons to visit North Carolina, but “You Are Here” featuring 15 artists including
Anila Quayyum Agha,
Bill Viola, and
Janet Cardiff is at the top of that list. It’s a massive collection of immersive installations exploring light, color and sound at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Agha’s “Intersections,” Viola’s “The Crossing,” and Cardiff’s Forty Part Motep” are spiritual stand-outs in the show. It’s an often emotional journey, and that is why “You Are Here” in Raleigh, North Carolina is our art news of the week.
