ART WEEK: JAMES TURREL

The James Turrel retrospective at LACMA is completely spectacular. I love pieces that are true immersive experiences, and Turrel's rooms make light material. The exhibition includes early geometric light projections, prints and drawings, installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light. The hot pink room was definitely my favorite. I enjoyed listening to Turrel's film, discussing his process and projects. He poetically spoke about the Magnum Opus rooms, "being at the bottom of an ocean of air" helping us "feel the sky."

The fully immersive room at the Resnick Pavilion is worth the wait. The LED projections transform the room from pink to white to blue. The walls dematerialize as you step into the light. It is mesmerizing and striking in its simplicity and beauty. Get your advanced tickets now!
