A Philosophy of Light and Space: Introducing James Turrell’s Roden Crater Art Project with Matthew Goodwin

April 5, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

FREE

Roden Crater is a cinder cone volcano near Flagstaff, Arizona where, for the past 40 years, artist James Turrell has been working on his magnum opus. Here he has built dramatic ‘sky spaces,’ rooms and tunnels with openings oriented toward celestial and atmospheric events. The place invites visitors to explore perception itself, and to question their place in the cosmos. This talk will introduce some of the intriguing philosophical, psychological, and scientific issues this one-of-a-kind work of art in Arizona will confront us with when it finally opens to the public.

This program is being co-hosted by Chandler-Gilbert Community College. REGISTER HERE.
