“It was important that people come to value light as we value gold, silver, paintings, objects.”
—James Turrell

New video from the Exclusive series: James Turrell, our current 100 Artists featured artist, describes the values and perceptions of light while revisiting one of his “skyspace” works, Second Meeting (1989).

To say I’m excited for the Turrell retrospective at LACMA is an understatement.

"Now all you can do is wait. It must be hard for you, but there is a right time for everything. Like the ebb and flow of tides. No one can do anything to change them. When it is time to wait, you must wait."

Riccardo Tisci Reflects on His Night at The Met

On Mara’s ivory gown:

“Rooney was fantastic. I have already worked with Rooney for three years and I know what she loves. She’s like me. She really represents my style. She loves the romantic side of me, and she loves the hard side of me. For last night, I said, ‘Rooney, we should really push more to be sexy, because you have the face and the body to be sexy,’ and she said, ‘You know what, we should go for it.’

Balmorhea - “Pyrakantha”

Gorgeous tune & gorgeous video. Los Angeles, I love you.

(Because I’m sure you’re wondering: that house with the chandelier-filled tree is in Silverlake.)

This makes me miss LA so much.

Trumpets are underrated. One event down, two and a four day countdown to go until the building closes and it’s officially SFMOMA On the Go.

“Generally, we use light—we don’t really pay much attention to light itself. That’s my interest: this fascination with light and how we come to light.”
—James Turrell

Happy birthday today (May 6) to artist James Turrell.

Seen here is the The Light Inside (1999), commissioned by and installed at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The Light Inside is installed in the underground tunnel that links the museum’s Caroline Wiess Law Building with the Audrey Jones Beck Building.

This scene is featured in the Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 1 episode, Spirituality (2001).
