With use of elemental materials, art and science meet
Print Edition
AN exhibition titled “Nothingness is not nothing at all” by world-renowned Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson is on display at West Bund of Long Museum through June 19. The retrospective brings together artworks from the early 1990s to the present, including installations, sculptures, paintings, drawings, and film. A number of new artworks were conceived especially for the Long Museum exhibition, including the large-scale, site-specific installation “The Open Pyramid”.
An artist who tends to think like a scientist, Eliasson prefers to use elemental materials, such as stone, ice, water, or light, in his works. Series of photographs and color paintings reflect his artistic approach to studying the phenomenon of color perception and investigating the world. Optical devices, lenses, mirrors, and glass spheres emphasize the dynamism and subjectivity of visual perception, providing opportunities for visitors to consider their own participation in the construction of what they see.
Olafur Eliasson, born in 1967, is a visual artist who works in a wide range of media, including installation, painting, sculpture, photography, and film. Many of the works direct the viewers’ attention toward the space they inhabit as well as to the act of perceiving it.
