If you’re new to Arty Girl, you won’t be annoyed by this blog. If you’ve been following Arty Girl, on the other hand, you might be turned off by my incessant need to write about the James Turrell Skyspace at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
I can’t help it. It’s an obsession of mine. I’ve already written a handful of blurbs about the thing but I still feel the need to pimp it.
Plus, I went to one of the sunrise viewings last year and it was a beautiful way to experience this magically calming space. Starting this Saturday, you have the chance to make reservations for their June 20th Summer Solstice Sunrise.
So here’s the set up: James Turrell, a contemporary master of space and light, created an elliptical room and lined the smooth, slanted walls with concrete benches. A single oval opening in the ceiling allows natural sunlight (or moonlight) to flood the space. During the sunrise, you have a rare opportunity to sit in a state of pure quiet and simply observe as the day’s glow slowly illuminates the room.
