James Turrell - Profile

Having become interested in art, James Turrell enrolled at University of California and created his first light piece, Afrum-Proto, the next year, in which light projected into the corner of a room seemed to form a three-dimensional, illuminated floating cube. Turrell was given his first solo show at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1967. The following year, he began making constructions in which light shining out from behind one or more sides of a partition wall dissolved edges and changed the viewer's perception of space in a room. He went on to participate in the Los Angeles County Museum's Art and Technology Program, investigating perceptual phenomena with the artist Robert Irwin and psychologist Edward Wortz. After receiving his M.A. in 1973, Turrell began work on his first large Skyspace, an aperture cut into the roof of a building that causes the visible plane of the sky to appear flat at the level of the opening. In the UK, James Turrell has created a Skyspace at Keilder Forest in Northumberland. There cannot be any doubt about Turrell's commitment to exploring the big questions. In 1974, Turrell located Roden Crater, in northern Arizona, where he has worked for the past thirty years, to refine the site into a monumental observatory for perceiving extraordinary qualities of natural light and celestial events. His latest Skyspace, at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, was revealed in the Spring of 2006. The recipient of several prestigious awards such as Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships, Turrell currently lives and works in Arizona. (The Louise T Blouin Institute, London)
