Is this the problem with contemporary art?
“A lot of people come to art and they look at it, and this is one of the problems in contemporary art. And so, they don't actually enter the realm that the artist was involved in.”
Artist James Turrell has devoted his life to capturing the ethereal properties of light and its powers to evoke transcendence and the sublime.
“Sometimes if you're conscious enough, you can, you'll discover that you're in the atmosphere. You're not separated from the sky at night. And even during the day you have this feeling that you're one with the universe.”
Season 1 of “Art in the Twenty-First Century” is now available on YouTube, free, for the first time ever. Link in bio to watch James Turrell in “Spirituality” now.
