LAS VEGAS - A Louis Vuitton commissioned installation James Turrell, which opened here in downtown store of French luxury brand recently is not only one of the most intimate and unexpected ways to experience the artist's work, it may just be the best antidote we found the swirling, counter caused by separation of Sin City Chaos light have to be.
Under the title "Akhob" (a word from the Amarna Period in Egypt, "pure water", according to one guide), is a permanent installation, which opened on the fourth floor of the Louis Vuitton store in the past month, the largest "full-field Turrell "(light box) facilities up to date. It consists of two bedrooms, each with a circular opening, and a model of slowly changing light, which is repeated every 24 minutes.
The audience is in a range of vibrant pink shift, electric blue and a strange shade of orange that makes the ball circular space under the center of the room as the sun bathed the surface itself. Sometimes the edges of the two chambers, bleed other times disorientingly in a uniform color field.
While I am certainly not an art critic, and my knowledge of the work of Turrell before "Akhob" consisted of some walk-through of his current retrospective LACMA (although in the capital, drawing, MRI-like in a metal ball called "Reignfall Light "where about 12 minutes psychedelic kaleidoscope images swirled, swirled and broke like waves on my optic nerves), I can tell you from personal rate and, after a day and a half in Las Vegas, I have not a better more correct course of a found half an hour past bathed in the light of experience "Akhob." Pure water in fact.
"Akhob" is the last of three projects commissioned by Louis Vuitton in order, with a modular sculpture of light as "prima facie evidence, October 2005", which was created for the flagship store on the Champs-Elysées Vuitton, and a number 2006 Pictures of juxtaposing a trunk cult brand in the Arizona desert during Turrell Roden Crater project.
Open since May 2, with the installation itself is free and open to the public, but limited to four people at a time (private parties can have up to six), so reservations must be scheduled in advance.
