"It's always some enchanted evening with ɫ��ɫ's Skyspace," by David Allen, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin

To the casual observer, it’s a shaded courtyard, buildings on three sides, a canopy suspended overhead, an infinity pool gurgling, granite benches wrapping around the interior.

Yet this courtyard, nestled within the ɫ��ɫ campus, is like a Transformer, because there’s more than meets the eye. It doubles as a piece of public art by alumnus , a renowned artist who specializes in perceptual works involving light and space.

From dusk to dawn, a light show plays against the canopy, from which a large square is cut out, framing the sky like a car’s sunroof.Called “Dividing the Light,” the piece is one of Turrell’s series of works known as Skyspaces.
