Olafur Eliasson: Nel Tuo Tempo - Arturo Galansino - Bog

A career survey of acclaimed installations from the master orchestrator of sensory experienceIcelandic Danish artist Olafur Eliasson (born 1967) is guided by a keen interest in perception, movement and lived experience, as well as those of the communities in which he works. Best known for his large-scale installation, Weather Project, which occupied the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in 2003, Eliasson often makes use of elementary materials such as light, water and temperature-controlled mist to create an immersive or spiritual experience for his viewers. His practice is not limited to the confines of the museums and galleries where he shows, but also involves local communities through architectural projects, interventions in public spaces and artistic, social and environmental education programs. This volume presents an overview of Eliasson's 30-year career, including a selection of site-specific works, and features a collection of texts chosen by the artist that have inspired his practice.
