Among many strands of his practice are the monumental architectural light works, which give a new, nocturnal life to buildings around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the Brisbane sky shifts to dusk, James Turrell's \u003cem\u003eNight Life 2018\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) from within. The first of the artist's architectural light works to be completed in Australia, its shifts in tempo, hue, and intensity of colour invite us to consider how we are affected by light. A decade after GOMA opened, this work realises the architects' vision of animating the building's facade, with its 88-minute sequence that pulses across the building from sunset to midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe publication \u003cem\u003eJames Turrell: Night Life\u003c\/em\u003e documents the most complex and valuable public art project ever realised by QAGOMA - \u003cem\u003eNight Life 2018\u003c\/em\u003e by James Turrell - and features an extensive interview with the artist, conducted by QAGOMA Director Chris Saines. The publication also acknowledges the vital support of benefactors and government in realising this significant commission, an architectural light work which is the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gallery commissioned Florian Holzherr, Turrell's long-time photographer, to document \u003cem\u003eNight Life\u003c\/em\u003e's full spectrum of colours especially for the publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078841450732,"sku":"9781921503986","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3450983482872.jpg?v=1765224323","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/james-turrell-night-life-by-qagoma-9781921503986","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
