As part of the AlUla Arts Festival 2025, Wadi AlFann hosts international artist James Turrell in a pre-opening program designed to engage both local and international audiences in the artistic practices of participating artists. This initiative serves as a prelude to the major artworks that the Wadi will showcase in the future.
Turrell’s participation includes a special exhibition in the AlJadidah Arts District, offering a comprehensive vision of the artistic project he will create in Wadi AlFann.
The project will feature a series of massive chambers alongside three of his early works, which provide profound reflections on the concept of perception, SPA reported.
The exhibition will present four key works from the Royal Commission for AlUla and private art collections, highlighting Turrell’s mastery of light as a medium. It offers a rare opportunity to witness one of his earliest works alongside one of his latest works.
