James Turrell has been working with light for over 20 years. His Rodan Crater Project  has been called America’s Sistine Chapel.  To fund it he also makes what he was originally known for: Light Installations of exquisite and ethereal beauty. Legend has it that his installation at the Stedelijk Museum dropped people to their knees. Unfortunately you will not be seeing them at Pace but if you head over to PS1 he has a permanent installation you can spend all day with.

I love work that shows the unseen. Wattenberg & Viégas moving wind map uses data to show us magic.

“An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. The wind map shows the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US.”
