ART: Roden Crater

Situated in the Painted Desert of Northern Arizona, the Roden Crater offers an epistemological journey through space and light. James Turrell has created a six chamber observatory within the collapsed volcanic crater that offers an inspired visual experience. The work began in the 1960s and upon opening, the crater will serve as a naked eye observatory of earthly and celestial events that are both predictable and continually in flux.
