Synopsis
James Turrell (*1943 inLos Angeles) is undoubtedly the most influential contemporary light artist.

Hardcover. Condition: gut. Auflage: 1 (1. Juni 2009). James Turrell (*1943 in Los Angeles) ist zweifellos der einflussreichste Lichtkünstler der Gegenwart. Sein gesamtes Schaffen widmet er der Auseinandersetzung mit den vielfältigen Erscheinungsformen des natürlichen und künstlichen Lichts. In seinen Werken verdichten sich Licht und Raum zu Erfahrungsprozessen, die die Grundbedingungen ästhetischer Wahrnehmung reflektieren. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht die Werkgruppe der Sky Spaces, die Turrell im Laufe seiner künstlerischen Karriere zu einer eigenständigen Kunstform entwickelt hat. Textbeiträge erläutern aus wissenschaftlicher, philosophischer und kunsthistorischer Sicht die Entwicklung und Bedeutung dieser Wahrnehmungsräume, deren Konzept eng mit der Entstehung des Roden Crater Projects in der Wüste von Arizona verbunden ist, wo der Künstler seit 1974 ein Himmelsobservatorium errichtet. Anhand exemplarischer Arbeiten wird die Bedeutung dieser Lichträume für die zeitgenössische Kunst thematisiert. Eingeschlossen ist auch die neueste Installation Skyspace/Camera Obscura Space, die Turrell eigens für das Zentrum für Internationale Lichtkunst Unna konzipiert hat.Ausstellung: Zentrum für Internationale Lichtkunst Unna 31.1.-31.5.2009 Zeitgleich Eröffnung der neuesten Dauerinstallation Skyspace/Camera Obscura Space von James Turrell Symposium April/Mai 2009 Für Lichtfans ein Muss - es geht einem wahrlich ein Licht auf. Vor dem Lesen mal die Webseite vom Lichtmuseum Unna aufrufen und schlau machen - ein Besuch ist es immer Wert und dann versteht man warum Licht so faszinierend ist. TURRELL is an American Genius (in the same sense as Whitman and Melville are "American"), and this book is a great window inside. no pun intended.
