James Turrell, né le 6 mai 1943 à Los Angeles, est un artiste américain dont les principaux média d'expression sont la lumière et l'espace. Il vit et travaille à Flagstaff en Arizona, ainsi qu'en Irlande. Turrell revendique pour sa démarche artistique la double appartenance à la culture scientifique et technique, et à la culture atlantique et pacifique. Zug and Zuoz are municipalities in Switzerland where light artist James Turrell (born 1943 in Los Angeles) created works of art. This publication is devoted to the relationship between two contrasting works: Architecturevs of Light and Skyspaces, which explore the encounter between the architectural interior and the natural world outdoors. The focus here is on a permanent installation, Light Transport, which, at night, immerses the Zug train station in different colors, and the Skyspace Piz Uter in Zuoz - a plain, round structure made of stone, with a circular opening in its roof. These two works are used as examples of how Turrell's art unfolds, depending on whether it is in an urban or a natural space, and to show what sort of conclusions about his concept of art can be drawn from this. This extensive, carefully illustrated volume provides the viewer/reader with an experiential journey between the borders of seeing.

"'Second Wind" is an underground architectural skyspace piece, in which viewers enter an inner pyramid, via a tunnel. Inside is a stone stupa, surrounded by a pool. Stupas are circular domes used in Buddhist architecture, and whose shape and position have the effect of making the cosmos appear closer. The passageway into the stupa leads to a room with a circular hole in the ceiling, open to the sky. Here, visitors can sit down and watch the changes of light "sculpted" by the artist. Turrell particularly recommends enjoying it in twilight, when light is at its most intense and the colours of the sky are enhanced, altering the viewer's perception of the sky as a space, a shape and an object. In this project, curated by Jimena Blázquez Abascal, Turrell has managed to create the illusion that the sky is just within our reach, blurring the dividing line between matter and emptiness. To enter the skyspace is to come closer to the immensity of the cosmos, making one question the difference between vision and perception. Its importance also lies in the fact that it is Turrell's first permanent site-specific work produced in Spain, and his largest in Europe. James Turrell primarily works with light & space, & how they are perceived. This highly illustrated volume follows the creation of Turrell's installation 'Second Wind 2005', which opened in May 2009 at the NMAC Foundation, Montenmedio, Spain.

James Turrell's first exhibition in a New York museum since 1980 focuses on the artist's groundbreaking explorations of perception, light, color, and space, with a special focus on the role of site specificity in his practice. At its core is 'Aten Reign' (2013), a major new project that recasts the Guggenheim rotunda as an enormous volume filled with shifting artificial and natural light. One of the most dramatic transformations of the museum ever conceived, the installation reimagines Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic architecture - its openness to nature, graceful curves, and magnificent sense of space - as one of Turrell's Skyspaces, referencing in particular his magnum opus the 'Roden Crater Project' (1979- ). Reorienting visitors' experiences of the rotunda from above to below, 'Aten Reign' gives form to the air and light occupying the museum's central void, proposing an entirely new experience of the building.

"Published in conjunction with a major retrospective, this comprehensive volume illuminates the origins and motivations of James Turrell's incredibly diverse and exciting body of work--from his Mendota studio days to his monumental work-in-progress Roden Crater. Whether he's projecting shapes on a flat wall or into the corner of a gallery space, James Turrell is perpetually asking us to "go inside and greet the light"--evoking his Quaker upbringing. In fact, all of Turrell's work has been influenced by his life experiences with aviation, science, and psychology, and as a key player in Los Angeles's exploding art scene of the 1960s. Enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell's career to date--from his early geometric light projections, prints, and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to recent two-dimensional experiments with holograms. It also features an in-depth look at Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape near Flagstaff, Arizona, which will be presented through models, plans, photographs, and drawings. Fans of this highly influential artist will find much to savor in this wide-ranging and beautiful book, featuring specially commissioned new photography by Florian Holzherr."--Publisher's website.
