A recent lecture by American artist James Turrell was the highlight of last week. Turrell has spent his artistic career so far exploring the properties of light and somehow giving an intangible material weight, presence, and texture. When starting on the project which made him famous, Roden Crater, he admitted in hindsight that he was a little out of his league. [Turrell started the project and has been working on it steadily since 1972 - he says he is "almost finished"] He referred to the Roden Crater project as " ... a fistfight I probably shouldn't have gotten in to. But it's too late once it's already started... "
Funny, it makes me think of Studio.
Well almost.
