Paint the town! Here's how to hit all the art openings and shows this weekend.
: Saturday, June 18, 6 p.m., tickets $15 online, Kathryn Mohrman Theatre, Armstrong Hall, 14 East Cache la Poudre Street, Colorado Springs
Floyd Tunson’s 1995 masterwork"Hearts and Minds," gifted to CSFAC at Colorado College in 2020, went on display in May for a run through July, and is well worth a trip south to the center. And there’s more:, a multi-sensory performance by Tomás Doncker & the True Groove All-Stars inspired by Tunson’s work and the words of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa, is scheduled for live shows on June 17 and 18.
It’s already home to a number of long-term public art works by local, national and international artists, including Pard Morrison, Bernar Venet, Richard Serra and others. But the newest addition, light-and-space artist James Turrell’s Green Mountain Falls Skyspace , might be the biggest draw yet when it opens to the public Saturday.
Skyspaces are rooms of a specified design with a ceiling aperture to let in light that interacts with colored LEDs to alter human perceptions; the one in Green Mountain Falls has a rare retractable roof, allowing for closed-roof shows. Viewers hike up a butte to access the experience, and then the magic begins — at sunrise, sunset or with the roof closed. It’s really meant to be experienced, not described.
Skyspace is accessible from Green Mountain Falls by the scenic Pittman Trail, from Joyland Church parking lot, 5085 List Drive, or by the shorter, steeper Turrell Trail, located behind Gazebo Lake, Ute Pass Avenue.
