James Turrell
Strikes me - excites my visual neurons - interests me - evokes emotions. Rich and atmospheric, like I could reach out and feel the light and the colours.
I would like to experience the night sky from his room. And his crater sounds so exquisite.
Its almost the converse of Barbara Kruger - which is almost crowding issues into a box whilst Turrell is sort of opening the box to reveal the space. The Universe comes into the room to lead me out - not sure I can explain adequately what it does for me. It's like it enables me to breathe and feel freed.
Barbara on the other hand seems to be squashing everything human into the same place.
