Raethro by James Turrell. He is American artist primarily concerned with light and space. Turrell is best known for his work in progress,
Roden Crater. He acquired the crater in 1979.
Located outside Flagstaff, Arizona, Turrell is turning this natural cinder volcanic crater into a massive naked-eye observatory,
designed specifically for the viewing of celestial phenomena. His other
works usually enclose the viewer in order to control their perception
of light.
Quote "I feel my work is made for one being, one individual. You could say
that's me, but that's not really true. It's for an idealized viewer.
Sometimes I'm kind of cranky coming to see something. I saw the Mona
Lisa when it was in L.A., saw it for 13 seconds and had to move on. But,
you know, there's this slow-food movement right now. Maybe we could
also have a slow-art movement, and take an hour."
