James Turrell – Meeting

MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave, 11101, New York City

August 19, 2026 – December 31, 2027

One of James Turrell's celebrated Skyspaces, Meeting is a site-specific installation that invites viewers to gaze upwards toward an unobstructed view of the sky. A key representative of the "Light and Space" movement centered in Los Angeles during the 1960s, Turrell creates works of art consisting primarily of light, exploring fundamental questions about the nature of human perception by rendering tangible the act of vision. Originally commissioned in 1976 for PS1's inaugural exhibition, the work was realized in 1980 and opened to the public in 1986. In 2016, after renovation replacing original seating and adding a multicolored lighting program synchronized with sunrise and sunset, Meeting entered MoMA's collection. Located on PS1's third floor, access is included with gallery admission. Capacity is limited; seating is first-come, first-served. The installation features a multicolored lighting program that subtly shifts in color as the sky gradates in tone.
