| Bindu Shards is a “fully immersive visual and auditory work to be experienced by one person at a time.” One is strapped down and sealed in for 15 minutes in this white chamber and exposed to monotone sound and color. Jonathan Jones, UK Guardian art critic, says “The most important part of the experience is that you do not know what is inside and outside your head.” James Turrell, Bindu Shards, mixed media, 2010. |

Take your time in the Turrell and Johnson exhibitions. We won’t lock you in a giant white orb, but we definitely encourage you to take your time to be fully immersed in the dark and light rooms.
The average museum patron spends only about 8-17 seconds looking at a piece of work. See more, by seeing less. Don’t be afraid to take minutes even with these exhibitions, we don’t mind having you here! And come back again and again!
