James Turrell
Dicecream Magazine🔳James Turrell (born May 6, 1943) is an American artist primarily concerned with light and space.
James Turrell has innovated photographic techniques that allow light to have a physical presence.
Using holography to make the light itself the subject rather than the medium, Turrell creates colored light installations that appear to possess mass and take up space as planes, cubes, pyramids, and tunnels.
“I feel my work is made for one being, one individual. You could say that's me, but that's not really true. It's for an idealized viewer...
...Sometimes I'm kind of cranky coming to see something. I saw the Mona Lisa when it was in L.A., saw it for 13 seconds and had to move on...
...But, you know, there's this slow-food movement right now. Maybe we could also have a slow-art movement, and take an hour.”
