The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

The exhibition explores the artist’s work over almost 50 years, bringing together Projection pieces, built spaces, holograms, drawings, prints and photographs. Never before seen in Australia and showing only in Canberra, James Turrell is considered one of the greatest living artists of our time. His extraordinary light works have been specifically designed for the National Gallery of Australia and will change the way you see. A truly unique experience not to missed.
