Häusler Contemporary is extremely pleased to have mediated and accompanied one of James Turrell's greatest artistic visions to date in Germany.
Together with the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, the light artist James Turrell has realized the largest walk-in light installation he has ever developed for an exhibition house: on a floor space of 700 square meters, a room-in-room construction rises eleven meters high to below the glazed museum ceiling. It is a two-part cavity of the Ganzfeld Pieces type. Two rooms that merge into one another - the so-called Viewing Space and the so-called Sensing Space - are both completely empty and - this is new for this type of work - flooded entirely with slowly changing colored light. Together with other works, the museum is presenting the Wolfsburg Project, the most comprehensive show of the American artist's work in Germany to date.
Visitors can enter these rooms via a ramp descending steeply from the upper floor into the Viewing Space and experience with all their senses in a "sublime bath of light" how architectural conditions cancel each other out to the point of disorientation in the homogeneous field of vision.
