James Turrell's Night Life

17 DECEMBER 2019 - 1 NOVEMBER 2025

Gallery of Modern Art

See the GOMA in a new light. As the sky shifts to dusk, James Turrell’s permanent architectural light installation 'Night Life' 2018 illuminates the Gallery of Modern Art from within.

Through shifts in tempo, hue and intensity of colour over 88 minutes, the artist invites us to consider how we’re affected by light. A decade after the opening of GOMA, this dynamic work realises the architects’ vision of animating the building’s façade at night.
