Lifting the Veil surveys James Turrell’s transformative practice, focusing on his use of light as a primary material to shape human perception. The exhibition features three Glassworks installed in custom chambers, alongside architectural models, photographs, and site plans documenting his magnum opus, Roden Crater.
Gagosian presents Lifting the Veil, an exhibition that examines James Turrell’s profound exploration of light, space, and perception. For over five decades, Turrell has utilized light not merely as a tool to reveal objects, but as a medium in its own right, inviting viewers into contemplative, durational encounters. This exhibition features three Glassworks—Resolute (2025), Patmos (2024), and Of One Mind (2024)—housed in specially constructed chambers that guide visitors through carefully calibrated sensory progressions of changing color and light. Beyond these immersive installations, the exhibition offers a deeper look into Turrell’s broader practice through photographs, site plans, and models related to his monumental Roden Crater project, currently under construction in the Painted Desert of Arizona. By juxtaposing these studio-scale works with the conceptual framework of his Skyspaces and Roden Crater, the exhibition provides an intimate view of an artist dedicated to redefining how we experience the limits of light and the expanse of the sky.
The exhibition is open to the public at Gagosian, Hong Kong. Visitors are encouraged to contact the gallery via the provided email or phone number for inquiries regarding access or appointments if necessary, though no separate exhibition-specific booking is explicitly required on the page.
