The American artist James Turrell will unveil a new
Skyspace this summer in the foothills of Pikes Peak in Colorado. The work will be installed on a hillside in Green Mountain Falls, a bucolic town near Colorado Springs.
The work one of more than 100 of the artist’s signature light chambers with ceiling apertures open to the sky will be officially unveiled on 10 July and a series of public programmes are due to be announced in the coming weeks. It is being funded (for an undisclosed amount) by the Historic Green Mountain Falls Foundation, a non-profit organisation that supports the Green Box Arts Festival, an annual visual and performing arts event launched in 2009.
