James Turrell: Dividing the Light

It's up for debate whether James Turrell is a sculptor, an architect, a light-and-space artist, or an earth-works artist. Whichever he is, the transcendent, full-body experience of Turrell's Skyspaces — specially built rooms oriented to capture and refract natural light in profoundly affecting ways — is indisputable. Colors change, light sources invert, time passes, and the sky itself seems to behave like paint on a canvas. Considering the lengthening days of spring, and a moratorium on visits to Roden Crater, this is a fine chance to get a little extra sun.

James Turrell is all of those things as well as a genius! For a similar (though not as grand) experience visit the Twentieth showroom on Beverly Blvd. They have a "transport pod" by artist Alberto Frias who was deeply influenced by Turrell.
I was there last sunday, the key is to arrive before sunset,amazing design and architecture that reframes your perception of reality, I really enjoyed it.
