is now open, joining Into the Light and making MASS MoCA the only North American institution offering a comprehensive overview of James Turrell’s career. Wilson Building - with galleries designed and constructed specially to best accentuate his installations. A pioneer in the Southern California Light and Space movement, MASS MoCA presents a multi-decade retrospective of Turrell’s work in B6: The Robert W. His practice has been shaped by the ongoing manipulation of architecture, framing and altering the way viewers engage with the environment. Turrell began using light as a sculptural medium in 1966, painting the windows of his studio in Santa Monica to seal off the natural light and experimenting with projections. Squares of sky seem to float, suspended, in ceilings or walls architecture disintegrates and brilliant geometric shapes levitate in midair. A range of minimalist IP65 bollards with direct downward light emission for elevated visual comfort and high luminous efficacy. His sculptures and architectural interventions elevate our experience and perception of light and space. In James Turrell’s hands, light is more than simply a source of illumination: it is a discrete, physical object.
