In 1998 the US artist James Turrell (born in 1943) developed a light installation for the MAK, which can be seen from when dusk falls to one o’clock each night since 2004. Since the late 1960s the artist has explored the relationship between light and space, between appearance and perception. The lighting designed for the MAK by the artist pulsates, changing from deep blue to crimson, and, emphasizing the effect conveyed by the façade, makes the building radiate from within like a magic place.
