02:01 James Turrell Opens at the Guggenheim Museum in June | |
From June 21 to September 25, 2013, the Guggenheim Museum presents James Turrell,
the eminent American artist’s first solo exhibition in a New York
museum since 1980. The exhibition features a major new site-specific
work, Aten Reign (2013), which represents one of the most
dramatic transformations of the museum ever conceived—reimagining the
rotunda of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic building as one of Turrell’s
luminous and immersive Skyspaces. Opening on the summer solstice, the
installation will fill the museum’s central void with shifting natural
and artificial light and intense, modulating color, creating a dynamic
perceptual experience that exposes the materiality of light. Including
select early works in addition to the monumental new installation, James Turrell
considers the dominant themes explored by the artist for nearly fifty
years, focusing on his investigations of perception, light, color, and
space and the critical role of site-specificity in his practice.
James Turrell is one of three concurrent, independently
curated presentations of the artist’s work in summer 2013. Together, the
exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, the Museum
of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
celebrate Turrell's groundbreaking career and form a three-part
retrospective across the country. James Turrell is curated by Carmen Giménez, Stephen and Nan
Swid Curator of Twentieth-Century Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and
Nat Trotman, Associate Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. James Turrell is organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim
Foundation, New York, in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The Leadership Committee for James Turrell is gratefully acknowledged for its generous support, including Lisa and Richard Baker, Pace Gallery, Almine Rech Gallery, Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte, 425 Park Avenue/Simone and David W. Levinson, and those who wish to remain anonymous.
