Inhaltsangabe

Ursprünge und Motivationen von James Turrells vielseitigem und aufregendem Œuvre


Raum und Licht sind die Pole, zwischen denen sich das Werk James Turrells bewegt. Egal, ob es sich um Lichtprojektionen in einer Galerie handelt, oder ob er die Betrachter einlädt, durch ein Loch in der Decke in den Himmel zu schauen: James Turrell will immer, dass wir „nach innen gehen und das Licht begrüßen“ – eine Reminiszenz an seine Quäker-Herkunft. Diese wie seine Erfahrungen mit Luftfahrt, Naturwissenschaften und Psychologie sind prägend für sein Schaffen. Begleitet von Essays und einem Interview mit dem Künstler, untersucht diese Monografie sämtliche Aspekte seiner Karriere – von den frühen geometrischen Lichtprojektionen und Installationen bis hin zu kürzlich entstandenen Experimenten mit Hologrammen.

Aus dem Klappentext

Copublished with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for the major touring retrospective and concurrent exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, this comprehensive volume illuminates the origins and motivations of James Turrell's incredibly diverse and exciting body of work--from his Mendota studio days to his monumental work-in-progress Roden Crater. Whether he's projecting shapes on a flat wall or into the corner of a gallery space, James Turrell is perpetually asking us to "go inside and greet the light"--evoking his Quaker upbringing. In fact, all of Turrell's work has been influenced by his life experiences with aviation, science, and psychology, and as a key player in Los Angeles's exploding art scene of the 1960s. Enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell's career to date--from his early geometric light projections, prints, and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to recent two-dimensional experiments with holograms. It also features an in-depth look at Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape near Flagstaff, Arizona, which will be presented through models, plans, photographs, and drawings. Fans of this highly influential artist will find much to savor in this wide-ranging and beautiful book, featuring specially commissioned new photography by Florian Holzherr.
