''James Turrell: The Light Inside''

For 13 years, visitors to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston have enjoyed James Turrell’s The Light Inside, a commissioned light tunnel that connects the two buildings on the MFAH campus. Now they can see more of the light artist’s mind-bending works in the landmark retrospective ”James Turrell: The Light Inside,” an examination of Turrell’s career, which spans five decades.

The MFAH exhibit, which has been in the works for a decade, is made up entirely of the museum’s holdings of Turrell’s work. Many of the pieces challenge the viewer’s perception of space. End Around, which surrounds you in a seemingly endless field of light, is sure to be among the highlights. Gary Tinterow, MFAH director, has said, ”[Turrell] is among the handful of artists who can be credited with changing the course of American art.”

”The Light Inside” is one of three simultaneous exhibitions that explore Turrell’s work. There’s also one at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and New York’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
