Meanwhile his LA gallery, Kayne Griffin Corcoran, has launched its new space with Sooner Than Later, Roden Crater, a show of drawings, photographs charting his four-decade work on his Roden Crater project. The exhibition also includes a Meditation Room, from his “Perceptual Cells” series, one of which can also be found at LACMA. In addition to the work on display, Turrell also had a strong hand in the creation of the gallery space itself.
