One of the last lines in the new film about Banksy's 31 day residency in New York City poses the question:
“Wouldn’t you rather live in a world made by art, rather than just decorated by it?”
Such a powerful question. And Yes, yes I would.
But what does that look like?
To me, it looks like James Turrell's House of Light in Niigata, Japan. The man has managed to turn a home into not only a painting/sculpture/performance piece, but also a community center and retreat space. It's incredible.
Last weekend we took a group of 10 individuals from all over the world up for a night to experience it for themselves.
We saw shooting stars, took multiple baths, feasted on delicious food and woke up ridiculously early to watch the sunrise.
We were all sad to leave, but know that we'll get to go back another day and share the experience with more people.
Hope you can join!
