Wadi AlFann presents James Turrell

Jan 16 — Apr 19, 2025 | AlUla Arts Festival, Saudi Arabia

"All of my Skyspaces engage the natural light of the area. The light quality in AlUla is of dry desert air with little moisture, which yields a light in the sky that is crisp and clear."
—  James Turrell

Artist James Turrell is showcased in the exhibition "Wadi AlFann presents: James Turrell", as part of the AlUla Arts Festival, on view at ATHR Gallery, Al Ula 43562, Saudi Arabia, until April 19, 2025.

For over half a century, the American artist James Turrell has worked directly with light and space to create artworks that engage viewers with the limits and wonder of human perception. Turrell, an avid pilot who has logged over twelve thousand hours flying, considers the sky as his studio, material and canvas.
