In the world of contemporary art James Turrell is a freak and a prophet. Bearded, slightly otherworldly and extremely courteous, he talks to me on one of his rare trips away from the volcano in the Arizona desert where he lives and works. Since 1974 Turrell has been transforming the vast natural telescope dish of Roden Crater into an artwork, the light of which comes from the sun, moon, stars and planets. Now the revelation is at hand. Roden Crater will open to the public on October 15 next year. It will be the world's biggest, boldest, most sublime public artwork. "It's amazing", says Turrell ecstatically. "I believe this is finally going to happen."
