TAKE YOUR TIME: OLAFUR ELIASSON

OLAFUR ELIASSON (1967-)

I Eliassons kunst kan solen stå op og regnbuer vise sig inde på museerne. Hans enorme installationer undersøger og gennembryder naturen og kunsten og omformer almindelige steder til underværker af lys og syn, og altid bliver beskueren involveret.

Bogen viser Eliassons væsentligste værker fra 1990 til i dag.

Bogen ledsager en vigtig udstilling i San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. 

Danish artist Olafur Eliasson has built an international reputation based on the installations and sculptural works he creates that alternatively engage, amaze and disorientate the viewer. His work explores human perception of the world and the boundaries between nature, art and technology. This catalogue is published in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and accompanies a major touring exhibition.

Nearly 200 colour reproductions offer a rich visual survey of Eliasson's most significant works from 1990 to the present, while a series of original essays investigates the complex origins and implications of his practice, from the legacy of the Light and Space movement to the artist's recent forays into architectural design.
