My favourite part was James Turrell saying "...My thought there is that it's important that you go alone, almost as though you are coming to a ruin, you discovered these things yourself... You go through it and these things are your discovery" This man is truly a celestial dreamer, for the sake of it. Amazing
This has blown me away with it's mathematical complexity and beauty, I've not seen anyone attempt this with this accuracy since the Egyptians, I have total respect for what he's created.
The best thing I found today in the Internet. Extremely powerful piece of art.
Fascinating! A friend just went to James Turrell's Green Mountain SkySpace in Colorado at dawn this morning for her 70-something birthday. It was an unparalleled experience, she said. Now, I understand a little more about James Turrell's work & hope to have the opportunity to visit a site. I'm in Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦
This place is such a gift to humanity. An infinitely deep well for creative inspiration. What a mark to make to the world, using the Earth itself to paint. Incredible.
I cannot wait to visit!
Beautiful, just beautiful...
Fascinating art!
Beautiful primer to the work of James Turrell, thank you for making this available
It's the best thing I've seen on a long time. Stunning
One of the greatest artist alive .
Y LOVE YOU JAMES!! YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIGHTLY
Wow stunning. The medium is the message.
bloody love Mr Turrell, very low bow
This is SO great!!! I gotta see it!
Totally amazing perfect space to know we are where we are and what it means to be
i have learned the way he made the drawing come to life and how it tells stories behind every drawing that he does.
Excellent Sir 🙏🌷🌷
It will be finished around the year 2200. Sorry for the wait.
Wow, so amazing! I was lucky enough to experience the exhibition "James Turrell: A Retrospective" at LACMA at that time and I very much hope to visit this "place" as well! I kinda want to recommend not watching this and just going if possible ha
Most profound place I’ve ever been to.

What is the process for entering? Can you just show up and enter or is there gates/security?
Damm, since 1975 ...
experience the light...............
to "drink light" - what great diction, also "transmogrifies"
Goddamn. This guy is an artist.
One day..
masterclass
Speaking of places with a powerful quality. I would love to know his opinion on Uluru in Australia.
So cool! I can't wait to discover it for myself. . . I do have a question, what happens when it rains?

It's a desert so, I'm guessing hardly ever rains.

It does rain, and snows in the winter as well. Drainage within is designed to accommodate weather events like these
YEEZY sent me! 🤷🏽♀️
One of my favorite artists! Can one tour this place?

@@kylemisiolek4801 Responding a year late, but it's closed because it's still not complete. You can only tour it if you donate a sizeable amount or if you know someone who works there. It plans to officially open in 2024.
If ever there was a place to do LSD or mushrooms, this would be the place. Amazing.
Rodger Deakins must film this place
I used to drive by there almost everyday at times but never went in. Oh well.
Where can I find the music in this video?
It's like a Kiva...............
Indiana Jones has not even discovered this yet. But he will.
as above, so below.............
Kanye on Joe Rogan brought me here.

YOU *GOT* IT! Guggenheim money indulges "art" project... Turn of the sound & without the "spacey music" & just reading what he says ~ what a lot of inspired nonsense.
Just added this to the bucket list. Drop a hit of acid and spend the night here
So THIS is what Letterman has done since Retirement
