James Turrell's Light Art Installation Opens in Las Vegas
James Turrell might be an alien -- or at least knows something about the
universe that the rest of us don't. He likes to say, "It's possible to
gather light that's older than our solar system." And so, Turrell is
finally having his well-deserved moment after 50 years of practicing his
light-based art. Pick a city in the USA, and chances are there is a
Turrell on display -- and in the past month, institutions in New York,
Los Angeles and Houston, have opened up major surveys or retrospectives
for the public to experience the totality of Turrell. The Guggenheim
has unveiled its Aten Reign, the largest site-specific
installation the museum has ever seen; LACMA has 11 original light works
that nearly didn't get completed on time, and Houston is exhibiting 12
works from their permanent collection, seven of which have never been
seen before.
