The artwork expands the perception of nature in contrast with the sporty experience of the landscape.
With his installation “Horizon Field”, the British artist Antony Gormley has already shown how contemporary art can enrich the mountain landscape of the Arlberg and the Bregenzerwald. Out of his 100 life-size iron men, only one sculpture remains at the Kriegeralpe in Oberlech. The Skyspace-Lech aims to permanently combine modern art with a nature experience.
As a renowned vacation spot, Lech-Zürs commits itself to the strengthening of quality art and culture. The Skyspace-Lech is an opportunity to be the lighthouse of this aspired path in the truest sense of the word. Due to its location in one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes, the Skyspace-Lech is an international center of attraction for art-interested guests from all over the world.
Most of all, the installation of James Turrell belongs to Lech because it craves extensive attention. Only then the colors and the space may function and enable new experiences and viewpoints. Beyond the sporty and gastronomic range of the village, the Skyspace-Lech offers new experiences and sensitizes all senses for details, that you do not seen and feel at first glance.
