James Turrell Comes Full Circle in Upcoming Seoul Show

Summary A newJames Turrellexhibition is set to hit Pace Galleryin Seoul next month, marking the artist's first return to the Korean capital in 17 years. TitledThe Return, the show features five recent installations — including a never-before-seenWedgeworkpiece — by the Light and Space luminary, transforming the tea house and all three floors of the galleries into dreamlike illusions. Like others in the series, Turrell's latestWedgeworkpresents a choreographed play of color, shadow and light. Light takes on a 'thingness' in a low lit room, as soft gradients create the illusion of depth and space. The piece grounds itself in the sensorial, challenging conventions of materiality through a deceptive 'nature of reality as mediated by light.' Also on display are two large curved glass pieces, along with circular and diamond-shaped installations from the artist's ongoingGlassworkseries. These works create the sensation of endless depth through shifting planes of light, drawing viewers into seemingly infinite luminous spaces. Complementing the light-based works are photographs and works on paper that offer rare insight into the creative process behind Turrell's infamousRoden Craterproject. On view from June 14 through September 27,The Returntakes part in Pace's 65th anniversary year programming. To celebrate the gallery is mounting exhibitions around the world from an impressive roster of artists they've shown throughout the years.
