Olafur Eliasson "Take Your Time"
This event has ended.
At The Museum of Modern Art
Media: Photography, Sculpture, Installation
"Take your time: Olafur Eliasson" is the first comprehensive survey in the United States 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. By transforming the gallery into a hybrid space of nature and culture, Eliasson prompts an intensive engagement with the world and offers a fresh consideration of everyday life.

Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson
With dual shows at MoMA and PS1, Icelandic artist Eliasson continues his work on awareness and perception, creating installations that play on viewers' senses. He uses water, light, mirrors and glass boxes in "Take Your Time" to a masterful effect.
A last look at one of NYAB's favorite pieces, from one of the best shows of the summer—Olafur Eliasson's "Take Your Time" at MoMa and P.S.1, which closes June 30.
