Canberra: James Turrell's new 'skyspace'

James Turrell

Australian Gardens
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra

3 years and A$10 million in the making, this astonishing underground installation continues Turrell's  series of 'skyspaces' around the world.

The Quaker artist's ongoing masterwork is Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in Arizona's Painted Desert which he has been transforming into a celestial observatory for the past thirty years - see the video below.
