What is LIGHT?
Light can be described as something that makes things visible. It can also be associated with spirituality.light, according to dictionary.com, is "illumination or radiance from a particular source."
James Turrel was born in Los Angeles on May 6, 1943. One of his professions includes making art with light. My favorite work by him is called "Light Reign." Light Reign was installed in 2003, it is a small room with a unique skylight that is used to observe the atmosphere on a deeper level. It is a very calming structure.
Another light artist named Paul Friedlander has a very different approach to his art. In 2003 Friedlander had an exhibit at the Sonic Light Conference. The exhibit consisted of "visual music," including multiple concerts and different light arrangements.
Turrel and Friedlander's light art contrast in that Friedlander's are more of a combination of light and sound and Turrel's combine light and architecture.
Both of these artists inspire awe and curiosity to the people lucky enough to view their work.
