Arts No Turrell After All
posted by on May 1 at 11:21 AM
Back in September, I reported here on Slog that Seattle Art Museum has owned a James Turrell light room for two decades but never shown it—but that it would soon come out of storage for the grand opening of the new SAM.
Scratch that.
The Turrell is still in storage.
This from SAM:
The Turrell was going to be installed in the Venturi galleries on the fourth floor, but the exhibition schedule meant that it would only be on view for six months. So curatorial decided to postpone the installation so that it could stay on view longer. We are working on the schedule now and hope to have it view in the near future.
Just didn’t want you showing up this weekend expecting to see something like, you know, this
or this.
sigh....i want one of these....
SAM...get on the ball and install this!
The Turrell show at the Henry a few years back was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
I have to agree. It was awesome. Walking into those spaces was disarming and meditative. But am I the only person who doesn't 'get' the Skyspace? Maybe I have only been on cloudy days but I always sit there and look up....and nothin.
