Take your time: Olafur Eliasson
April 20–June 30, 2008
MoMA, Special Exhibitions Gallery, third floor
P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center
Take your time: Olafur Eliasson is the first comprehensive survey in the United States of works by Olafur Eliasson, whose immersive environments, sculptures, and photographs elegantly recreate the extremes of landscape and atmosphere in his native Scandinavia, while foregrounding the sensory experience of the work itself. Drawn from collections worldwide, the presentation spans fifteen years of Eliasson's career. His constructions, at once eccentric and highly geometric, use multicolored washes, focused projections of light, mirrors, 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 and offers a fresh consideration of everyday life. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue that includes original essays by scholars and curators. Take your time: Olafur Eliasson will be on view at SFMOMA from September 8, 2007–February 3, 2008.
Take your time: Olafur Eliasson was circulated by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and organized there by Madeleine Grynsztejn. At The Museum of Modern Art and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center the exhibition was expanded, and its organization and installation were overseen by Roxana Marcoci and Klaus Biesenbach.
Lead support for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art presentation was provided by Helen and Charles Schwab and the Mimi and Peter Haas Fund. Generous support was provided by the Bernard Osher Foundation, the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, and SFMOMA's Collectors Forum. Additional support was provided by Patricia and William Wilson III, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The New York showing is made possible by the Mimi and Peter Haas Fund.
Additional funding is provided by Jerry I. Speyer and Katherine G. Farley, Danish Ministry of Culture, and Skagen Designs.
