James Turrell Skyspace at CHFM 2020 “Pure bliss.” “Magical
experience.” “A canopy of beauty.” “Pure splendor, a kind of
secular, visual theology.” —Skyspace visitors Come experience the
sunrise and sunset in Philadelphia's only James Turrell Skyspace,
which is located inside Chestnut HIll Friends Meetinghouse. Evening
viewings begin at sunset and last 55 minutes. Turrell created a
different program for the morning viewings when the dark becomes
light. Those begin 50 minutes before sunrise.The meetinghouse will
open 15 minutes before the viewing starts and remain open 15 minutes
after it is over. The Skyspace displays directly overhead. For
comfortable viewing, guests are encouraged to bring yoga mats and
cushions to lie on the floor or prop their heads up while sitting on
the benches. The room will be the same temperature as the air outdoors
so dress appropriately. The schedule varies with the seasons. Except
in winter, there is a weekly Sunday evening viewing; and once a month
first Friday evening and first Sunday dawn viewings. Check the
Register button on the left for upcoming sunrise and sunset viewing
dates and start times, including special holiday dates.The Skyspace
experience, including roof opening, will only occur if the temperature
is above 40F with no risk of precipitation. A 20 minute closed roof
light sequence is looped if the roof can not be opened. Registration
