A long and memorable interview with James Turrell anchors this issue. As a child his grandmother told him to go inside and greet the light, and he did, bringing its fundamental mystery to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. This is an issue about seeing. Jane Rosen and Kathleen Cramer contribute fresh work. Juan Rodriquez writes about his experience of being an art guard at the Met. And we talk with one of our favorite artists of all, Jim Campbell, whose poetic and brilliant work illuminates the edges what we can know.

Sharing the Wealth

 Friday, March 5, 2024
