In Most's opinion, the Synoptics--Matthew, Mark, and Luke--offer troubled, conflicted accounts of Jesus' post-Resurrection corporality, and leave lacunae where they most intend to resolve doubt. More than thirty years after British-born artist Anthony McCall created his now-legendary Line Describing a Cone, the first of his "solid light" films, the elegantly simple 1973 work--a projected white dot that slowly grows over thirty minutes into a circular line on the facing wall, eventually filling the dark space with a conical "volume" whose vivid corporality is a beguiling trick of light and atmosphere--remains one of postwar art's signal explorations of perceptual boundary states.
