James Turrell: C.A.V.U. (Skyspace)

"I can make the sky any color you choose." — James Turrell Thirty years in the making, James Turrell's largest free-standing circular Skyspace — titled C.A.V.U. — is open on the MASS MoCA campus. Measuring 40 feet in diameter and 40 feet high, this repurposed concrete water tank transforms into one of Turrell's signature immersive light installations, carving out a small piece of the sky and framing it as a canvas with infinite depth. C.A.V.U. joins the exhibition Into the Light, a long-term retrospective of Turrell's work, making MASS MoCA the only North American institution offering a comprehensive overview of the artist's career. C.A.V.U. is open during museum hours with no reservations required. During mid-day, the dome will be sealed and the space will be transformed into a tightly-controlled multisensory environment, with light projected across the walls. Limited reservations for James Turrell: C.A.V.U. (Skyspace) at dawn and dusk are available on a rolling basis. Please arrive promptly by your reservation time, as entrance doors are locked and latecomers will not be able to enter. After checking in at the Security desk in the front lobby, visitors walk out to the Skyspace, arriving about 35-40 minutes before sunrise (or a comparable window before sunset). Photography is prohibited in C.A.V.U.
