James Turrell and his new ‘Green Mountain Falls Skyspace’ in Colorado

Reading Time: 1 min.

Imagine going on a mile-long hike in the middle of nature, on a mountain among the vast expanse of pine trees near Pikes Peak, Colorado. Suddenly, arriving at a chamber more than five meters high, with a retractable roof, in a structure created with natural elements, such as pine wood and stones, and enjoying a spectacle of colors in the sky from sunrise to sunset. And even at night. This is possible in the new immersive installation by American artist James Turrell.

This new installation invites you to reflect and establish a deeper connection with nature in a meditative and euphoric space that illustrates how we internally create the colors we see.

The Green Mountain Falls Skyspace is one of more than eighty artist-designed Skyspaces scattered around the world, from Pomona College in Claremont, California, to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

The Green Mountain Falls Skyspace will be open for viewing from July 5 to September 30, and tickets are available now on the Green Box Arts website. Enjoy the introduction video for more details.
