This is the building that turned me on to James Turrell. I love it!

I'd love to one day see a piece by James Turrell live!

This piece was the highlight of my art weekend in Bentonville. I had already been thinking about the Buddhist idea of the self and this arwork gave me a lesson as only great art can. BTW when I was there a little over a week ago the center also had stones.

The world has been going towards experiential art for awhile now... I mean in a sense original art in dance and theatre and ceremonies and events, all that is experiential. Now we have digitally remote experiential too. But I do think sitting in a movie theatre, standing before a painting on a wall,,, all of that is well and good, but when we can actually immerse ourselves in a context and get that connection, it's important. I think having art that is local and accessible to all is highly important as well, and light and the use of light is something readily available and highly therapeutic and inspiring.

Whoa! I definitely didn't catch this when I went to Crystal Bridges! It's been a while since I've seen a good oculus video. I love the way nature plays a role in this art. Dr. Harris' commentary was hella deep: perception does create reality - whatever that is. And I love a good etymology, so I appreciated Dr. Zucker's note on "ocular" and the eye of God... I'm excited to learn about more earthwork. ☺

You had me laughing-we all need an oculus video now and then.

[@Sasha0927]

We do! 😂 It feels like it's been ages since the first playlists where they were semi-common. It got me thinking about all the ground I've covered and how I'd love to revisit some of the works from the older lists. We'll see.@@smarthistory-art-history

[@smarthistory-art-history]

I also hope you will have time to view some of the videos from the Asia, Africa, the Islamic world, the Americas, and the Oceania playlists! There is absolutely amazing art out there. People are brilliant everywhere.

[@Sasha0927]

@@smarthistory-art-history Wouldn't miss it. I'll make time. 🥰

[@MatthewParrella]

these installations look like the perfect location for a rave... just without any ppl like it’s so energizing 👁👁

[@clumsydad7158]

dancing is one of the earliest forms of experiential art... true
