olafur eliasson
Posted on | April 7, 2009 |
very cool stuff. organized by the sf moma, the museum of contemporary art in chicago will open its doors for olafur eliasson’s “take your time: olafur eliasson” exhibition between may, 1 and september, 13. it is the first comprehensive survey in the usa of works by olafur eliasson, whose immersive environments, sculptures, and photographs elegantly recreate the extremes of landscape and atmosphere in his native scandinavia, while foregrounding the sensory experience of the work itself.
drawn from collections worldwide, the presentation spans over fifteen years of eliasson’s career. his constructions, at once eccentric and highly geometric, use multicolored washes, focused projections of light, mirrors, and elements such as water, stone, and moss to shift the viewer’s perception of place and self.
