Olafur Eliasson

(Danish, born 1967)

Olafur Eliasson is a Conceptual Danish-Icelandic artist concerned with sensorial experience and perception. Through installations, public projects, films, photography, and paintings, Eliasson activates the senses of his viewers in immersive artworks, as seen in his The Weather Project (2003) installation at the Turbine Hall of the Tate London. His practice has been compared to Robert Irwin and James Turrell for his interest in the reflexive qualities of the audience and his attention to light. “I want to expose and evaluate the fact that the seeing and sensing process is a system that should not be taken for granted as natural—it's a cultivated means of reality production that, as a system, can be negotiated and changed,” the artist stated. Born on February 5, 1967 in Copenhagen, Denmark to Icelandic parents, Eliasson grew up in the city and went on to study at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1989–1995. After graduating, he established his multi-disciplinary studio and laboratory in Berlin. In 2016, Eliasson was invited to create a network of installations at the Palace of Versailles in France. He currently lives and works between Copenhagen, Denmark and Berlin, Germany. The artist’s works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Kunstmuseum Basel, among others.
