James Turrell Skyspace: Light Reign at the Henry

James Turrell Skyspace: Light Reign Now on view #AtTheHenry Henry Art Gallery is fortunate to have a James Turrell Skyspace at our museum. Turrell's skyspaces are specifically proportioned chambers with a round, ovular, or square aperture that opens to the sky. Skyspaces can be autonomous structures or integrated into existing architecture. Our skyspace, "Light Reign," was built to fit in our sculpture court. Commissioned in 2003 to commemorate the Henry's 75th anniversary, "Light Reign" is Turrell's first structure to combine two key aspects of his work within one building: skyspace and exterior architectural illumination. Offering experiences of light in space, both inside and out, it is a unique pavilion that acts as both meditative chamber and public artwork. James Turrell Skyspace: Light Reign, is part of a series of videos highlighting the Henry's permanent collections. The video series is a collaborative project between the Henry and Solstream Media. The collecting activities of the Henry Art Gallery began in 1926 when Horace C. Henry offered 172 works of art and $97,000 to the University of Washington to construct the first public art museum in Seattle. Recently, we have focused on acquiring works that represent developments in contemporary art, particularly photography, media, and installation art. Our permanent collection includes over 25,000 objects.
