In this introduction to the exhibition and the region Lewis Biggs and Robert Hopper, curators of artranspennine98, set out their thoughts on the installation of art in public places
artranspennine98 is perhaps the largest exhibition of contemporary art ever held in this country. Despite the growing number of large, recurring international exhibitions, there are compelling reasons for adding another to the list. Our ambition to make this exhibition has been driven equally by a broad cultural agenda and a specific curatorial one. Much of the energy required to make such an exhibition realisable comes from the growing number of visual art organisations, and the growing audience for contemporary art in this region. The particular quality of the art derives from our own curatorial beliefs.

After studying psychology and mathematics, Turrell received a Masters of Fine Art degree from Claremont College, California. At the heart of Turrell's working practice is a methodical exploration of light as a pure element. Since 1972 Turrell's ongoing project has been the landscaping of the Roden Crater Volcano in Arizona into a massive light work. Permanent installations by Turrell can be found at the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork; Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; and the Dupont Foundation, Tilburg. Solo exhibitions of his work have been organised by the Hayward Gallery, London, and the Whitney Museum, New York.
