Glancing back through the entrance, the precisely positioned doorway creates a frame for the nearby peak. At the top of the dome, a window 30 feet in diameter looks out onto sky. In January 2018, I stepped through the entrance into James Turrells Perfectly Clear, an immersive art installation at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary. Once inside what Turrell calls the “sensing room,” visitors find themselves in a space swathed in light that cycles through saturated purples, pinks, and blues. To access the Skyspace, visitors walk through a glowing subterranean tunnel whose door was built to perfectly align to Biberkopf peak.
Like his 2005 piece Piz Uter, Turrell’s new installation is designed to take advantage of its mountainous surroundings.

Since the 1970s, Turrell has created a series of “ skyspaces” around the world by designing enclosed buildings that open to the sky thanks to an aperture in the roof. The Making of Severe Clear, 1986, is a documentary-style work that traces the creation of choreographer Dana Reitz' and light-and-space designer James Turrell's work, Severe Clear. Whether it’s in a museum, resort, or private home, American artist James Turrell has a way of transforming the places he works in, and now, the idyllic mountains of western Austria are no exception.
