Turrell Skyspace Dividing the Light, 2007 James Turrell '65 The Skyspace will be closed per Pomona College's 116th Commencement, May . The Skyspace--a precisely designed architectural installation that heightens the viewer's awareness of light, sky and the activity of perception--is the form for which Turrell is renowned. Building on this formal vocabulary, the artist has created an open, transparent courtyard space in which a floating metal canopy shades the seating area and provides a frame for the sky. During the transition from twilight to full night, lighting elements, programmed to change in intensity and hue as they wash the underside of the canopy, create the changing perception of sky as space, form, object, and void. A shallow pool centered beneath the opening to the sky mirrors the daytime sky and reflects a dark echo of the night sky. The lighting programs are keyed to sunset and sunrise. The evening program begins about 25 minutes before sunset and continues for approximately one hour. The sunrise lighting program begins 100 minutes before sunrise. Between the sunset and sunrise programs the canopy of the Skyspace is illuminated. Every hour on the hour there is a brief (3 minute) chime of light. Specific sunrise and sunset times are available for the Los Angeles area. Public hours: The public is invited to visit the Skyspace on Sundays and Mondays, 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Groups of 10 or more must make arrangements with the Museum. Please call 909.621.8283.
