See! Colour!
From 15th of May to 2nd of October Jrna becomes the stage of the unique event SEE! COLOUR! Presenting four parallel exhibitions spread over the entire campus including numerous lectures, guided tours, workshops, movies, conferences and events. All of this will take place in and around Kulturhuset in Jrna, Sweden.
James Turrell,
theme of light, colour and space, will create a number of large installations. There will also be an exhibition on Goethes Colour Theory with interactive colour experiments and a series of outdoor colour installations in the garden. Paintings from Hilma af Klint, the increasingly well renowned Swedish artist, will be displayed in addition to a selection of Rudolf Steiners original blackboard drawings, one of them shown for the first time ever. The architecture of Ytterjrna provides the perfect setting, as it is in itself a colour experience.

CATCHING THE LIGHT
James Turrell is an American artist
working with light, colour and space and is one of the worlds leading artists in this field. He exhibits at many prestigious art museums around the world and has created
permanent installations in 26 countries. Turrell is well known for conveying a sensation of infinite
space through the way he presents colour and light in confined structures. His most outstanding work is Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in Arizona, USA , which is probably the worlds largest art work. He is transforming the crater into a large observatory, designed to experience day and night sky light in a unique way. His art invites the viewer to explore their perception and how they react to what they see. For SEE! COLOUR! James Turrell is planning to create several large installations including a permanent Skyspace, a Dark Space, a Tall Glass and a walk-in-coloursculpture, a so called Ganzfeld (18 x 12 x 10 m). Additionally, there will be an exhibition with a range of existing works by Turrell, including models and pictures of Roden Crater and various Skyspaces from around the world. James Turrell will be present during SEE! COLOUR! at several occasions to speak about his work.
Hilma af KlinT
It becomes increasingly clear that Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862 1944) is one of modern arts important pioneers. In recent decades, her rich artistry has been met with growing interest around the world and she is currently the only Swedish artist from early modernism acknowledged at an international level. Hilma af Klint was first recognised in the international art world in 1986 through a major exhibition at Los Angeles County Museum of Art with the title The Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890 1985.
This exhibition brought about a sensational breakthrough and, for the first time, gave modernism a strong female figurehead. In an exhibition in SEE! COLOUR! a selection of Hilma af Klints work will be displayed, with an emphasis on her original and symbolic use of colour. In 2013, the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, will show a big retrospective exhibition of her work.
