James Turell's See Colour show in Järna is worth the visit.

Ta helst flera timmar på dig för att se James Turells storslagna ljusinstallationer med tillhörande utställningar om Hilma af Klint och Rudolf Steiner som pågår i Järna just nu. See Colour. Och du blir inte besviken. Jag hade visserligen bara en dryg timme när jag slank in med min kompis Aia i lördags, och vi klämde dessutom in en fika på Saltåkvarn, som ligger precis intill. Men jag ska tillbaka, var så säker, då jag har mycket kvar och vårt sommarhus inte ligger långt därifrån. Barnbarnen ska få följa med, det blir en fin skattjakt, genom det idylliska sörmländska landskapet, den antroposofiska arkitekturen av Erik "Abbi" Asmussen, byggt på färgschema av Fritz Fuchs med sina humanistiska färger och former som alltid finns där, och nu med tillägget av amerikanske konstnären James Turells hisnande färg- och ljusinstallationer. Tyvärr kunde jag inte fota allt, jag kan bara rekommendera en sommarutflykt bara en timme från Stockholm med bil E 4 söderut, sväng av mot Järna på väg 57, eller ta pendeltåget till Järna.

If you have a chance, try to take an extra tour to Järna, one hour south of Stockholm, to see the spectacular light installation by James Turell and accompanying exhibitions on view until October 2nd. See Colour is the name covering 4 different exhibitions spread over the Järna campus with unique mild and gentle architecture melting in with the nature by Erik "Abbi" Asmussen created through a colour scheme by Fritz Fuchs. The world famous American Artist James Turell, specialized on light, colour and space, has created some unique and quite spectacular premanent installations for Järna, including a special Skyspace, a Dark Space, a Tall Glass and walk-in-colour sculpture. Amazing - but not possible to photograph, so you just have to come and see by yourself. There are also experimental colour phenomenas in the garden built on old Goete theories, work shops you can try yourself. The more symbolic colour paintings by Swedish female modernist artist Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) are also featured in a separate exhibition. And of course, you will meet works by Rudolf Steiner, father of the anthroposophy which is the leading philosophy of the whole Järna campus, including school, hospital, restaurant, shops.... use a day for this!

The Sky Space is a permanent installation by Turell, which works after dark, but is also a beautiful sacred space to enjoy in day light

We also bought some healing crystals - matching Aia's colour scheme for the summer
