James Turrell
On August 27, 2005, the Skyspace Piz Uter specifically developed for Hotel CASTELL in Zuoz was presented by American artist James Turrell.
The Skyspace was set up on the initiative of the Walter A. Bechtler foundation. Häusler Contemporary negotiated and managed the project.
The elegant circular construction is a place of calm and intensive encounter with nature and light.
James Turrell's works for the "Skyspace" focus on the interaction between architectural internal space and natural external space by bringing the sky into the opening in the ceiling. In principle, the artist of Skyspace Piz Uter is concerned with "structural cuts" with openings completely above the line of the horizon and cut into the ceiling and roof. The impressive change in the sky and its colors can be appreciated during the transition from day to night.
