2 pm [LA]
lecture: 'Art of the Senses and Non Sense'
Skirball Cultural Center (2701 Sepulveda Boulevard; LA)
info: 310-335-0917; info@skirball.org
detail: Best known for his association with the California Light and Space movement, James Turrell has never outgrown his early fascination with the abstract power of physics. Like many artists who have inhabited our strange corner of America, Turrell explores the spiritual and metaphoric underpinnings of our experience of light itself. His interest in the multiple meanings, applications, and degrees of brightness has informed his many major (and often controversial) installations and public works around the world. This is a rare opportunity to get the inside story on some of the most important conceptual art ever made, right from the source. Note: A concurrent exhibition of Turrell's early work is on view at Griffin Contemporary.
