Olafur Eliasson

"Before, it was always about the here and now, about space and time as a convention. Now, however, it's more about how you and I construct a here and now for ourselves. Time is not measurable--it's now."

Olafur Eliasson, excerpted from Hans Ulrich Obrist & Olafur Eliasson: The Conversation Series, published by Walther Koenig.

Olafur Eliasson: Inner City Out

Text by Daniel Birnbaum.
Published by Walther König, Köln

One of the most important artists of his generation, Olafur Eliasson (born 1967) creates immersive environments and spectacular public installations that probe the cognitive aspects of vision and transform the act of looking into a social experience. Merging art and science, Eliasson engages the observer as participant, challenging the passive viewing experience by utilizing such elements as temperature, smell, moisture and light to trigger physical sensations. Olafur Eliasson: Inner City Out documents the artist's first project in Berlin, where he has lived and worked for many years. Designed for the Martin-Gropius-Bau, and curated by Daniel Birnbaum, it examines the relationship between the museum and the city, bridging the two through ephemeral installations placed in various locations throughout the city as well as within the museum itself.

Olafur Eliason: Scent Tunnel

Essays by Vanessa Hirsch, Friedrich Meschede and Thomas Worm.
Published by Hatje Cantz Publishers

Visitors to the Autostadt automotive theme park in Wolfsburg, Germany, have recently been treated to a walk-through living greenhouse, a breezeway whose walls are made of rows of potted plants, open from April to September. The rack that holds the pots in place is openwork, and structurally speaking not unlike the one under Jeff Koons's Puppy, but Eliasson goes one step further by inviting viewers to move through the inside of the piece, and by animating it to rotate around them, pouring out seasonal scents. Eliasson's goal, realized here with great success and to great acclaim, is to bring viewers into a verdant, flourishing space. This petite, elegant hardcover documents the Scent Tunnel project and follows it through a full season, listing the flowering times of its plants and considering the work and its olfactory elements from both scientific and art-historical perspectives.
