The Color Inside: A Skyspace by James Turrell

Specialties

«The Color Inside» is Skyspace by James Turrell which is a permanent installation on the rooftop of the Student Activity Center on UT campus. To visit the Skyspace for the sunset light sequence, make a free reservation at tur​rell​.utexas​.edu. Daytime visits do not require a reservation.

With an elliptical oculus open to the sky above, the Skyspace invites visitors to sit in quiet contemplation of their surroundings. At sunrise and sunset, special light sequences unleash brilliant washes of color that transform the sky and challenge viewers’ perception.

While Turrell considers his art only visible during sunrise and sunset, the Skyspace is available for observation during the day. The Skyspace remains open in the rain; it can make for spectacular viewing, but you may get wet.

«The Color Inside» is presented by Landmarks, the public art program of The University of Texas at Austin. Learn more by visiting land​marks​.utexas​.edu
