- Episode #179: James Turrell revisits his installation "Second Meeting" (1989) at a private residence in Los Angeles, California. As one of his first skyspaces, "Second Meeting" was originally installed at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 1986.
Turrell describes what initially attracted him to working with light and how skyspaces encourage a closer examination of our visual perceptions. "I want to bring the space of the sky down to the top of the space you're in so that you really feel to be at the bottom of the ocean of air," says Turrell. "You really then experience this quality that can happen at the change of day to night and night to day." "Second Meeting" was preceded by a similar work titled "Meeting" which has been on public view at MoMA PS1 in Queens, New York since 1986.
James Turrell's explorations in light and space impact the eye, body, and mind with the force of a spiritual awakening. Informed by his studies in perceptual psychology and optical illusions, Turrell's work allows us to see ourselves "seeing."

one of the truly great artists living today
I see Now. When I was 12 I used to arrange prisms in my west facing bedroom window so I could flood my retina with pure color. Thank you James Turrell for your inspirational work.
Simply awe inspiring... Now hurry up and finish the Roden Crater already!

Brilliant artist
Great Study !
He has a show coming up very soon at the Guggenheim Museum. So excited!
It's the ying and the yang. Without the piercing revelations awakened by artist's consciousness, Engineers would not have a world worth commenting on.
