Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson Saturday, September 08, 2007 – Sunday, February 24, 2008 SFMOMA presents the first comprehensive survey in the United States of works by Olafur Eliasson, whose sculptures, installations, and photographs elegantly recreate the extremes of landscape and atmosphere in his native Scandinavia, while foregrounding the sensory experience of the work itself. His constructions, at once eccentric and highly geometric, use crystalline tunnels of mirrors, multicolored washes or focused projections of light, 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 around us and a fresh consideration of everyday life.
It is going to be awesome to see Eliasson take over the SF Museum of Modern Art.
