The work, titled As Seen Below \u2014 The Dome, is part of Turrell\u2019s famous series of \u201cSkyspace\u201d installations, which consist of enclosed spaces containing apertures opening to the sky and natural elements. The new installation is part of the museum\u2019s 10-year expansion project, and will become the largest \u201cSkyspace\u201d installed in a museum. <\/p>\n<p>Measuring approximately 50 feet in height and 130 feet in diameter, As Seen Below \u2013 The Dome invites visitors through a subterranean, light-filled corridor that opens into a vast domed chamber. The installation will feature an oculus at the center of its dome framing the open sky, with timed light sequences that will transform the space at sunrise and sunset. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith As Seen Below, I shape the very experience of seeing, rather than simply delivering an image,\u201d Turrell said in a statement. \u201cThe architecture brings the sky close, so you recognise that the act of looking is itself the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Rebecca Matthews, director of ARoS, described the new \u201cSkyspace\u201d as \u201can extraordinary work that invites visitors to slow down, lift their gaze and experience light, time, and space in deeply moving ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turrell, now 82, created the first \u201cSkyspace\u201d in 1974, following earlier experiments in controlling and shaping light within architectural space. Turrell has created more than 85 \u201cSkyspaces\u201d around the world. <\/p>\n<p> The opening of As Seen Below will follow the opening of the ARoS\u2019s Salling Gallery, an underground exhibition space dedicated to contemporary art commissions. The museum will also debut a new permanent outdoor art area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Turrell, a pioneering member of the Light and Space movement, has announced an ambitious new work set&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[727,146,85,46,63630,43],"class_list":["post-96607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-celebrity","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-james-turrell","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
