Catch the closing weekend of James Turrell’s exhibition, “James Turrell Perspectives,” before it closes on July 7 at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, MD. The Museum will participate in Easton’s First Saturday Gallery Walk on Saturday, July 6 and will be open until 7 p.m., offering light refreshments. The exhibition includes the Museum’s own installation entitled St. Elmo’s Light, and many other works by Turrell never before on public view.
James Turrell is an internationally-acclaimed light and space artist whose work can be found in collections worldwide. Over more than six decades he has pursued his fascination with the phenomena of light to create striking works that play with the perception and the effect of light within a created space. Since 1974, Turrell has been converting a dormant volcano in Arizona, Roden Crater, into a monumental work of art.
James Turrell Perspectives is concurrent with the artist’s retrospectives at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The exhibition is underwritten in part by the Dedalus Foundation, the Talbot County Arts Council and the MD State Arts Council, Ilex Construction, Inc., The Ravenal Foundation, as well as Thomas and Robin Clarke, Tim Kagan, Frank and Joan Kittredge, and Robert and Marsha Lonergan.
