Olafur Eliasson

Olafur Eliasson's take on Louisiana is radical, fascinating, and unique. The central work in the first solo exhibition at the museum by the Danish-Icelandic artist is a huge, site-specific project that reverses the relation between nature and art. The transitions between inside and outside, culture and staged nature, become fluid and transitory? and the progress of the visitor through the museum becomes a central issue. The exhibition consists of three sections that each thematize the encounter between Eliasson's art and Louisiana as a place. Transforming the entire South Wing into a rocky landscape, Riverbed, Eliasson focuses on inhabiting space in a new way and inserts new patterns of movement into the museum.
