The publication was published on the occasion of the exhibition «James Turrell: the other horizon» at the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK), Vienna in 1998-1999.
«the other horizon» uses representative works by James Turrell to show the individual phases of development in his preoccupation with the phenomenon of light - from the first group of works from «Projection Pieces» to his «Roden Crater Projects», in which the American artist has been working for more than twenty years to bring together his earlier work groups and the powerful light phenomena of nature which are beyond all human control. A separate chapter is devoted to Turrell's various architectural projects - such as the light installations in Leipzig and Bregenz that transform the buildings into translucent sculptural bodies. The Skyspace «The Other Horizon», realized especially for the MAK, was opened as a permanent installation in November 2004.
