Collection Connections: James Turrell’s Deep Sky Portfolio and The Color Inside Skyspace

www.hrc.utexas... What is required of a viewer to step inside the work of artist James Turrell, and how does that experience change when viewing his two-dimensional prints rather than standing within an immersive Skyspace? Join Ransom Center Curator of Art Tracy Bonfitto and Landmarks Founder and Director Andrée Bober for a conversation that considers Turrell’s prints in the Deep Sky portfolio together with his Skyspace on the University of Texas campus titled The Color Inside. In anticipation of Slow Art day in April, learn how to linger with Turrell’s work and look deeply into the (not quite) sky. This is part of the Ransom Center's year-long investigation of What is Research? An exercise in slow research. Learn more: www.hrc.utexas...
