A new retrospective exhibition of the American artist James Turrell (born 1943) at the National Gallery of Australia is so intense that visitors will be asked to sign a waiver, before viewing one of the installations. This Saturday, the work opens to the public which includes some extremely complex constructions. The highlight is titled "Bindu Shards," and visitors only with a premium ticket can enter the artwork if they sign a waiver. Turrell describes the work as "behind the eyes light.” This is not for anyone with epilepsy, a pacemaker or claustrophobic sufferers. "It's quite an emotional work I would say, and one that I hope would have you thinking about your relationship to light," Turrell said at the launch.

The 72-year-old, was Born May 6, 1943 in Los Angeles, California. Graduated Pasadena High School, 1961. BA Psychology, Pomona College, 1965. Art Graduate Studies, University of California, Irvine, 1965-1966. MA Art, Claremont Graduate School, 1973.
