Art Installation - Air Apparent by James Turrell

To begin, this art installation I had seen with my fellow classmates for my ART113 - Color class. It was quite an experience being that this was locate on Arizona State University's campus.  James Turrell was the artist for this "Skyspace" installation. 

As you see this piece is a physical experience. As you walk in it has a little bit of descent into the piece. In the inside there is an opening up top. The opening gives a window to the light of the sky above. In the inside there is also Granite seating constructed within the structure. So the is an area to than look up into the square above to experience different lighting experiences. 

In the evening the light changes color. Anyone can go here day or night so when there is natural lighting the lights do not come on. I admire the piece because it is a peaceful environment. It can seem unpleasing because the walls are made of a metal that has many little holes. The design gives the ability to have air and sound flow through it. To me it gives it a very grounded experience yet has a very special out of this world kind of experience.

There is nothing that I can say that needs any improvement. The only thing that I can say that was unpleasant was the construction going on right next to the installation that it made it difficult to experience the atmosphere to its fullest potential.
