With his exhibit entitled Aten Reign, James Turrell transformed the Guggenheim into a jaw-dropping, neck-craning, ever-shifting experience with light and space. Turrell re-sculpted the massive interior of the iconic rotunda with tiers of white fabric over unseen scaffolding. For this portion, the artist chose Newmat to provide 13,500 square feet of micro-perforated white matt membranes with built-in micro-perforated black matt black-out membranes. Newmat installed these membranes in fourteen segments, which include five large concentric oval sections in a conical shape.
