James Turrell’s Leading (2023) has been permanently installed at Friends Seminary, a Quaker school in Manhattan, New York. On the school’s sixth floor, the artist created a meeting room whose roof opens to the sky and bathes the space in a spectrum of shifting radiant color, while the sky appears to float inside the installation. Leading is the only one of more than eighty-five Skyspaces by Turrell around the world attached to an active K-12 school. The installation is open to the public on the last Friday of each month that Friends Seminary is in session.
