Exhibition Visit: James Turrell

Kayne Griffin Corcoran

December 17, 2015

NeueHouse members enjoyed a private tour of the artist’s exhibition at Kayne Griffin Corcoran, a gallery the artist helped design. As part of the visit, each guest had the opportunity to experience Turrell’s site-specific Skypace installation and to make a same-day reservation for the private Perceptual Cell, an immersive 17-minute kaleidoscope-like experience not typically accessible to the public.

James Turrell’s work involves explorations in light and space that speak to viewers without words. Informed by his studies in perceptual psychology and optical illusions, the artist’s fascination with the phenomena of light is ultimately connected to a very personal, inward search for mankind’s place in the universe.
