"For me, it's using light as a material to influence or affect the medium of perception…" – James Turrell
James Turrell: A Retrospective is showing now at The National Gallery of Australia.
The exhibition explores the artist's work over almost 50 years, bringing together Projection pieces, built spaces, holograms, drawings, prints and photographs.
This is contemporary art as you've never seen before, and promises an experience not to be missed.
The Canberra Times has an opportunity for 12 readers and their invited guest to experience a Canberra Times exclusive reader event at the NGA on Wednesday 22 April, including:
- An invitation to an exclusive Canberra Times cocktail function in the NGA members lounge; and
- A private James Turrell: A Retrospective exhibition tour with the exhibition curator.
PLUS, the first two entrants with the correct answer drawn will have the special privilege of experiencing the popular and sold out 'Perceptual Cell' experience.
The Canberra Times Arts Editor Sally Pryor described Perceptual Cell as: "James Turrell's Perceptual Cell is a mysterious artwork - a machine you lie in for 10 minutes which blasts you with light." Read More
