\n\tSuperblue Miami, an immersive art hub in the city\u2019s Allapattah neighborhood, is celebrating its five-year anniversary with an installation by Light and Space artist\u00a0James Turrell, Artnet News<\/em> reports. The piece, titled\u00a0Blue Sea Sky<\/em>\u00a0(2026), marks the artist\u2019s latest installment in his renowned \u201cGanzfeld\u201d\u00a0series (1976\u2013).<\/p>\n \n\tFor the last five decades, Turrell has been making works inspired by the ganzfeld<\/em> effect (German for \u201ccomplete field\u201d), a phenomenon that flattens depth perception through a uniform or unstructured stimulation field. Inspired by both flying as a pilot since age 16 and an interest in perceptual psychology, the works in Turrell\u2019s ongoing series typically color otherwise ordinary spaces in rich hues.<\/p>\n \n\tThe changing colors in Blue Sea Sky<\/em> draw inspiration from its surroundings, including the blue ocean waters, green palm fronds, orange sunsets, and pink Art Deco neon facades. It replaces another Turrell piece, AKHU<\/em>\u00a0(2021), from the same series, which the artist had loaned the museum upon its May 2021 opening.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cBlue Sea Sky<\/em>\u00a0brings people together in a shared experience of immersion in pure color, pushing the limits of human perception,\u201d said Superblue cofounder and chief curator\u00a0Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst\u00a0in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to speak about Turrell without including one of his own wonderful quotes. [\u2026] \u2018In an age of consumerism and materialism, I traffic in blue sky and colored air.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Blue Sea Sky<\/em>\u00a0is the fifth new work acquired by Superblue since opening its doors to the public. Others include Rafael Lozano-Hemmer\u2019s light and sound installation\u00a0Pulse Topology\u00a0<\/em>(2021),\u00a0installed in 2023, in which visitors\u2019 heartbeats inform the pulse of lights hanging overhead.<\/p>\n \n\tThis new Turrell piece follows the unveiling of his\u00a0largest-ever\u00a0skyspace, As Seen Below<\/em> (2026), in Denmark earlier\u00a0this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/james-turrell-superblue-miami-1234797054\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/james-turrell-superblue-blue-1024×683-1.jpeg?w=1024″] Superblue Miami, an immersive art hub in the city\u2019s Allapattah neighborhood, is celebrating its five-year anniversary with an installation by Light and Space artist\u00a0James Turrell, Artnet News reports.
