I can spend hours just doing nothing in this room. And yet, there’s so much to do, so many ways of doing the small things this room requires. How to sit? Where to sit? How long do you sit? What do you look at? Do you focus on the sky? Do you watch the people tap away on their phones? Doing nothing is never nothing. “One of artist #JamesTurrell’s celebrated #Skyspaces, #Meeting is a site-specific installation that invites viewers to gaze upwards toward an unobstructed view of the #sky. A key representative of the “Light and Space” movement centered in #LosAngeles during the 1960s, James Turrell creates works of art that consist primarily of #light, exploring fundamental questions about the nature of #human #perception by rendering #tangible the #act of #vision. Meeting was the second Skyspace that Turrell constructed and the first in the #UnitedStates—becoming a prototype for the many subsequent such works he would construct over the following decades. Originally commissioned in 1976 by @momaps1 founder #AlannaHeiss for the museum’s inaugural exhibition, the work was not realized until #1980, and #Turrell continued to make modifications until it opened to the public in 1986. In 2016, after a renovation that replaced the original seating and added a new multi-colored lighting program synchronized with the #sunrise and #sunset, Meeting entered the collection of @themuseumofmodernart . Meeting is located on the northern side of #MoMAPS1’s third floor. Access is included with gallery admission during regular museum hours. Please note that capacity is limited and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors are encouraged to monitor the weather and dress accordingly. Meeting will be closed in the case of #rain, #snow, or other inclement #weather.” (at Meeting By James Turrell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdO07BtFrmD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Early next year, one of Turrell’s Skyspaces will open at Friends Seminary, a Quaker school on East 16th Street in Manhattan, just blocks away from the Fifteenth Street Meetinghouse which Turrell often visited when he lived in the city. The school’s principal, Robert Lauder, proposed a collaboration in 2014.  ...  “I was anticipating an interior light installation,” Lauder said in a statement, “but the moment James arrived he said: ‘Take me to the roof!'” The Skyspace will be located at the top of the new Upper School, which has undergone a major redevelopment to create additional programming space and updates in order to be ADA accessible. Turrell’s installation will be a 20-foot modular room, able to accommodate 22 visitors at a time. An aperture in the ceiling will open, creating what Turrell refers to as a “meetinghouse in the sky.”

Hi Gallus, I'm doing some worldbuilding and you seem like you could be connected enough for me to find an answer to the problem of dwarven agriculture. Many problems are created by the requirement of no sunlight, as even the common response of mushrooms still need light to break down decomposing matter as a primary energy source. Currently, we're thinking that they use a special type of mushroom that breaks down rocks in an energy-producing reaction, giving them enough energy to absorb nutrients and grow - this would serve a second purpose in explaining why building a massive hollowed-out mountain fortress doesn't produce an equally large amount of gravel.

Any thoughts? We're grasping at straws kinda lol

Well, some thoughts:

There's plenty of cave systems (especially Karst Systems) that are at least partially open to Sunlight- especially the kind that have rivers running through them, which is something else that's really helpful for agriculture.

For Example: This Cool AF Sinkhole cave in china that has an entire Forest in it

Now There's a view to put outside the city Gates!

Karst specifically is a landscape where underground rivers hollow out the limestone underground and then the cave roofs fall in. This kind of landscape answers your gravel question nicely: the hollowed out mountain does produce an equal amount of gravel, but the gravel turns up as the sandy banks of the river system hundreds of miles away.

So, there's your sunlight that can be used directly, or reflected or magically transferred deeper into the cave system.

Or they just put more holes in the roof! Unless your dwarves are also vampires, there's no reason for them to not hollow out a few Skylights into the mountain too.

But let's talk some other cave ecology and agriculture!

For starters, your dwarves could be sitting on top of a literal gold mine that would allow them to trade for a lot of needed materials and crops.

And by gold mine, I mean Salt Mine.

Historically, salt comes out of hollowed-out mountains and is worth more than gold.

Also something the humans have historically fought a bunch of wars over, so there's some free political tensions if you needed that!

I can also mean the possible fucking enormous piles of bat guano that accumulates in Karst caves, which is the world's most insanely good fertilizer, and ALSO something that has been worth more than it's weight in gold.

Speaking of Gold, another thing that often lives in sinkhole caves in abundance is BEES. turns out, limestone stalactites are a terrific place to build a hive that is difficult for predators to reach, stays dry and the stone substrate means the hives can reach many tons in weight before they start having structural issues. That sweet, sweet insect-derived liquid gold is already important to Dwarves in a lot of folklore- it's really hard to have a Traditional Dwarven Mead Hall without the honey to make the mead, you know?

So you got your mushrooms, you got your sunlight-grown sinkhole crops, you got your traded goods and you got your source of alcohol- the only thing really missing from an ancient food pyramid here is a staple carbohydrate. To that end, may I propose our good Peruvian Friend: The Potato.

Grain crops aren't actually all that nutritious and were kept around in ancient societies more as legal tender that kept the peasants busy, because wheat or rice takes months to grow, an enormous amount of labor to harvest, and wheat also needs to be milled before it can be turned into food- all enormously time-consuming processes that keep peasants busy and easy to rule tyranically over.

Potatoes though? Pop one in the ground in spring and you can dig up fingerlings all summer, and if you make potato towers, you can harvest up to 40lbs of delicious, easy-to-prepare-and-store carb out of a single plant- a real space-saver for the limited sinkhole skyspace.

If your dwarves have cheese, the potato makes even more sense, because Potato+dairy is the easiest, most nutritionally complete survival food there is.

Finally, consider: Dwarven Vodka.

This post is open for anyone to comment suggestions on, but that's my take: put your dwarves in a Karst-sinkhole cave system, give them a highly in demand resource like salt or guano, bees, and taters. Boom. Whole agriculture, economy and political scheme starters.

Green Box Arts Festival Opens with Skyspace by James Turrell

Green Box Arts Festival Opens with Skyspace by James Turrell

James Turrell’s new Colorado Skyspace light installation, debuting this weekend atop a butte in an unassuming box-shaped building during the 2022 Green Box Arts Festival in Green Mountain Falls, is changing the structure of the fest’s original vision. The addition of multidisciplinary artist residencies has already stretched Green Box’s time parameters beyond a few concentrated weeks each summer,…
