Synopsis
This book offers an unparalleled look at the latest finished work of groundbreaking artist James Turrell, who forces us to reconsider our perceptions of light and space. James Turrell is an American artist who works primarily with light and space - and how they are perceived. He came to prominence in the 1960s with a series of pioneering exhibitions, and is probably best known for his as yet unfinished project in an extinct volcanic crater in Arizona - Roden Crater. This superbly illustrated volume takes readers on an unparalleled behind-the-scenes tour - from conception to realization - of his latest finished work, "Second Wind 2005", which opened in May 2009 at the NMAC Foundation, Montenmedio, Spain.

From the Back Cover
The eight-year-old NMAC Foundation, located on the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula, invites contemporary international artists to Spain to complete site-specific projects. For the last two years NMAC has focused on an ambitious collaboration with Los Angeles-born artist James Turrell, legendary for his incredibly ambitious masterwork at Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in Arizona that he has been transforming into a celestial observatory for the past 30 years.
Focused on perception, space and light, Turrell's NMAC installation "Stupa," documented in this volume, is invisible from the outside. Viewers walk through a short "tunnel into a stone stupa--a dome-shaped mandalic structure found in Buddhist architecture, built to house relics. Turrell's stupa frames the sky: as the light changes, the viewers' perception is tested, and light and structure blur until the light acquires an eerie tangibility and specificity.
