James Turrel

Another exhibition that I visited this summer is first solo exhibition in Russia by one of the worlds`s most important artist - James Turrell. James Turrell has been creating art from light and space since that 1960s. Over nearly five decades, he has developed an extensive body of work that includes sculptures, holograms(which were most appreciated by my, still trying to find the way to buy in for home interior), installations, and architecture. By capturing and emphasizing the evanescent and refractory qualities of light, Turrell engineers works of art that must be experienced rather that just viewed.

This visit started in a funny way. As soon as i bought a ticket i come to the entry. I don`t know how but i entered this exhibition via exit passing without wait for one's turn.

The space on exhibition was devided by the walls which make a corridor between different expositions there is no light at all. So it sometimes was too difficult to find the way without hitting the wall by your head.



So everything starts from this room. At a time administration allows only 5 people to enter this place. In fact it`s a small room with white painted walls, but you don`t see the limits. The color always is changing during your presence. Maybe it`s just an illusion. I don`t know. We spent about 10 minutes where. I cant said that i was thinking exactly about. But the feeling was unforgettable. It`s really interesting to see how the usual light in fact can be used in art.




Every exposition has got it`s own history and principle of working. Off course everything that Turrel has made is under a secret. We just can try to find possible ways to make that he has already done.



A lot of his works are illusions. They break the space. They make it more grateful and fill it up with a great amount of questions.




Unfortunately i didn`t find pictures with holograms in the internet. They are most incredible part of this exhibition. And as always their principle of working was as always not usual. But i can share with you my emotions from this experiment.



I became absorbed in another world. I don`t know that it`s exactly. The principle is that you are closed in this sphere there`s a lot of light which is changing it`s color during the process. There is no limits. And it changes your mind while you are there. It`s a kind of light at the end of the corridor but in this case this light is everywhere.




I couldn`t resist the temptation and have visited this exhibition two times.





If there will be a possibility to visit it, please, do it!
