This Publication Is Devoted To The Relationship Between Two Contrasting Works By Light Artist James Turrell (*1943 In Los Angeles): Architectures Of Light And Skyspaces, Which Explore The Encounter Between The Architectural Interior And The Natural World Outdoors. The Focus Here Is On A Permanent Installation, Light Transport, Which, At Night, Immerses The Zug Train Station In Different Colors, And The Skyspace Piz Uter In Zuoz—A Plain, Round Structure Made Of Stone, With A Circular Opening In Its Roof. These Two Works Are Used As Examples Of How Turrell’S Art Unfolds, Depending On Whether It Is In An Urban Or A Natural Space, And To Show What Sort Of Conclusions About His Concept Of Art Can Be Drawn From This. This Extensive, Carefully Illustrated Volume Provides The Viewer/Reader With An Experiential Journey Between The Borders Of Seeing.
