James Turrell: Gathered Sky
A James Turrell installation at the Temple Dongjingyuan complex in Beijing
Tickets for James Turrell’s Gathered Sky at the Temple Dongjingyuan complex in Beijing must be purchased at least two weeks in advance using WeChat. 1. The Platform: Open the WeChat app. 2. The Account: Search for the temple complex’s official account: Temple东景缘. 3. The Path: Within the mini-program or account interface, navigate to the search or menu sections and look for “Art” and “Gathered Sky”. • Days: Public viewing sessions are typically available from Thursday to Sunday (or occasionally Monday). • Timing: The installation is strictly programmed around the sunset cycle. Because the 1-hour light sequence precisely mirrors the real-time fading of the sun outside, you must check the city's local sunset time for that specific date to know exactly when your session begins.
