Eliasson-this is tomorrow-

I'd like to say good bye to this year with aν euphemism to one of my favorite artists Olafur Eliasson and two of his latest works in 2010.



Multiple shadow house 
Tanya Bonakdar Gallery
Focusing on movement, color, and light - and the interplay between the three phenomena - the exhibition involves the viewer in a collaborative creative process. Throughout his career, Eliasson has challenged the notion of the artwork as a static object, instead suggesting that the meaning and generative potential of each work lies in the exchange between the piece and the viewer. It is the visitor's experience, his or her subjective perception and mediation of the work that activates it; in turn Eliasson's installations, public projects, photographs and paintings prompt a new awareness in the visitor of his or her own methods of interpreting the world.
The work is a situation experienced as it is created. The user negotiates and constructs his or her own surroundings, and the architecture is animated by the visitor.

2010Innen Stadt Außen
Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, 2010 

“Innen Stadt Aussen” (inside city outside) is the title of the solo exhibition that Berlin dedicated to Olafur Eliasson. Daniel Birnbaum, curator, friend of the artist and director of last Venice Biennale edition, organised the exhibition that plays on the perception of space and on a common, relational idea of artistic operation. Mirrors constituting the spokes of a bicycle wheel or positioned on a small van travelling in town give back an urban landscape through a sense of bewilderment, as an opening to the complexity of endless folds that reality, and a look on it, offer.
