Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson
Merging nature and culture with characteristic fluidity, Olafur Eliasson's Take Your Time demonstrates the artist's ability to use water, color, space, and light to envelop the viewer. The exhibition is the first comprehensive survey in the U.S. of Eliasson's work, spanning 15 years of his career, and it includes sculpture, photographs, and "immersive environments" inspired by the artist's native Scandanavia. Organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson will be on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art from May 1 through September 13. Eliasson talks to the public about his work on Tuesday, April 28, at 6 p.m. at the MCA. Advance tickets are sold out (due, no doubt, to a cascade of interest), but you can still get on the waitlist.
