Riassunto

In 1967, when 23-year-old James Turrell created his first light projection, he broke new ground in a way that would decisively influence his generation and the development of art. Although he was working in the contemporary context of minimal art and the Earthwork movement, there are categorical differences that distinguish his unique position in art right up to the present. The Other Horizon uses representative works by Turrell to show the individual phases of development in his preoccupation with the phenomenon of light - from the first Projection Pieces to his Roden Crater Projects, in which he has been working for more than 20 years to bring together his carlier work groups and the powerful light phenomena of nature. A separate chapter is devoted to Turrell's various architectural projects, such as the light installations in Leipzig and Bregenz that transform the buildings into translucent sculptural bodies.

The exhibition 'The other horizon' shows a representative selection of the American artist James Turell's prolific oeuvre. Turrell uses light as a medium, visualizing it in its fine materiality in complex light spaces. The visitor enters 'aesthetic fields' which result from the interplay of distance, illusion and perception and touch and shroud both view and body. The installations realized for the MAK present different forms of light works: 'Spectral Wedgeworks' and 'Space Division Constructions' enabling the visitor to grasp the sculptural dimension of light, a "Skyspace" in the MAK garden that seems to overcome the distance between sky and earth by establishing a congruence between the inner horizon of the space and the outer horizon, and a 'Ganzfeld Piece', 'Wide Out', which transforms the central exhibition hall into a blue, homogeneous 'infinite' space. Additionally, a number of models and drawings provide a detailed survey of Turrell's 'Roden Crater Project' in the Painted Desert, ArizonaLa mostra 'The other horizon' mostra una selezione rappresentativa dell'opera prolifica dell'artista americano James Turell. Turrell usa la luce come mezzo, visualizzandola nella sua fine materialità in spazi luminosi complessi. Il visitatore entra in 'campi estetici' che derivano dall'interazione a distanza, illusione e percezione e tatto e avvolgono sia la vista che il corpo. Le insta
