On
Wednesday, April 16, MoMA hosted a reception to celebrate the
opening of Take your time: Olafur Eliasson, the first comprehensive
survey in the United States to explore the highly experimental work
of Olafur Eliasson, whose large-scale immersive environments and
installations elegantly recreate the extremes of landscape and atmosphere
in his native Iceland. The exhibition's 38 works—installed
at both MoMA and P.S.1.—include 14 of those featured in the
originating exhibition first presented at the San Francisco Museum
of Modern Art as well as 24 additional works, six of which were uniquely
created for this exhibition. The exhibition will be on view
at The Museum of Modern Art and at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center
from April 20 through June 30, 2008.
