Take your time: Olafur Eliasson
10 December 2009 - 11 April 2010
The MCA presents the must-see contemporary art event of the year, Take your time: Olafur Eliasson. Gathering works from major collections worldwide, it spans Eliasson’s diverse career from 1993 to the present, including installations, sculpture and photography. It is the first large-scale exhibition of works by this Danish-Icelandic artist to be presented in Australia.
From light-filled environments to walk-in kaleidoscopes, Eliasson’s unique, experiential works explore the intersection between nature and
science, and the boundary between the organic and the artificial.
Raised partly in Iceland, Eliasson has drawn his inspiration from that
country’s landscape and spectacular weather. He recontextualises
elements such as light, water, ice, fog, arctic moss and lava rock to
create works that shift the viewer’s consciousness and sense of place.
