You know what? LACMA realized what a fantastic experience they had on their hands with James Turrell’s “Breathing Light” space, which apparently had been built expressly for the museum. So while all of his other art went on to the next stop in Jerusalem, we got to keep what is probably the best thing. As I raved about in my post about the Calder and Turrell exhibits before, it is just something you have to experience. I’m totally going back to see it sometime in the next year, at least once, as it’s just that much of a sensation. But apparently it IS only a year extension, so don’t dilly-dally. Who knows though, the Metropolis II exhibit was also supposed to be only temporary, and guess what? It’s now a permanent piece at LACMA.
