Visitors can once again watch the sun set through James Turrell’s Austin 'Skyspace.' If you haven’t snagged a seat yet, it might be a while before you can.
"The Color Inside," by American artist James Turrell, is located on the roof of the Student Activity Center at UT Austin.
Bober helped bring the work to UT in 2013. She says more than 75,000 people visit the Skyspace each year. The Skyspace is open to the public throughout the day and is often used as a quiet space where people can unplug and reset, Bober said.To view the light sequence at sunset, though, people need to reserve one of the limited seats online.
The space is built to exact specifications so viewers can see certain colors. The ceiling around the oculus, the large eye-shaped opening, is so thin it’s susceptible to cracking. The space is also open to the elements. The oculus is never covered. That means when it rains , it rains inside the Skyspace, too. A drain in the center ensures the space doesn’t flood.
