Summary
American artist James Turrell has created "As Seen Below," a 40-metre-wide subterranean Skyspace at the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum in Denmark. Designed in collaboration with Schmidt Hammer Lassen, the domed extension features a six-metre-wide central aperture at its apex that frames views of the sky. The immersive space is bathed in monochromatic colours, creating a contemplative experience that Turrell describes as "holding the sky close." The installation continues Turrell's decades-long exploration of light, space, and perception through his signature Skyspace concept.
