James Turrell’s Roden Crater

Currently Closed to Public

James Turrell’s Roden Crater project is an ongoing work that began in the 1970s, centered around a dormant volcano in the Arizona desert. The project involves the construction of a series of tunnels, rooms, and apertures that capture and manipulate light, allowing viewers to experience the phenomena of sunrise, sunset, and celestial events in a unique way. Turrell’s goal is to create a site-specific artwork that is a living, breathing expression of the landscape and the cosmos.
