The online discussion, featuring Nat Trotman, Associate Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; Alison de Lima Greene, Curator of Contemporary Art and Special Projects, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Christine Y. Kim, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, will be moderated by Wil Hylton, Contributing Writer, The New York Times Magazine.

Viewers can access the talk via Hangouts on Air on the Google Art Project's Google+ page, and submit questions for the curators via the Turrell Trifecta submission form.

Sky Light: Dr. E.C. Krupp
Wed, July 17, 6:30 pm
Although the sky is half of the environment and light is what activates sight, both are taken for granted today. However, from prehistoric Ireland's Newgrange to Egypt's Abu Simbel to Mexico's Chichén Itza, ancient civilizations have engaged the sky and manipulated its light. The monumental works of James Turrell also anchor audiences with celestial light, but with different motivation. Astronomer E. C. Krupp, Director, Griffith Observatory, explores parallels with antiquity and engagements with perception in Turrell's installations, particularly Roden Crater and Agua de Luz (2012) at Cenote Santa Maria in Mérida, Mexico. An exhibition viewing of James Turrell follows the lecture.

$12, $8 members, free for students and interns with RSVP. For tickets and more information, visitguggenheim.org/calendar.

Philip Glass: In Concert

James Turrell: Sensing Space
Fri, Sept 20, 3:30 pm
In this half-day symposium, scholars present on topics that cover the range of James Turrell's work, including the nature of perception, conditions of site-specificity, and the philosophy of aesthetics.
