James Turrell’s first exhibition in a New York museum since
1980 focuses on the artist’s groundbreaking explorations of perception, light,
color, and space, with a special focus on the role of site-specificity in his
practice. At its core is Aten Reign (2013), a major new project that recasts the
Guggenheim rotunda as an enormous volume filled with shifting artificial and
natural light. One of the most dramatic transformations of the museum ever
conceived, the installation reimagines Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic
architecture—its openness to nature, graceful curves, and magnificent sense of
space—as one of Turrell’s Skyspaces, referencing in particular his magnum opus
the Roden Crater Project (1979– )
