Olafur Eliasson: In real life @ Tate Modern in London

Olafur Eliasson: In real life marks the most comprehensive solo presentation of the artist’s work, and his first major survey in the UK. Eliasson consistently seeks to make his art relevant to society, engaging the public in memorable ways both inside and outside the gallery. Driven by his interests in perception, movement, and the interaction of people and their environments, he creates artworks which offer experiences that can be shared by all visitors. The exhibition also examines Eliasson’s engagement with issues of climate change, sustainable energy, migration, as well as architecture. Olafur Eliasson: In real life offers a timely opportunity to experience the immersive world of the endlessly inquisitive artist.

Olafur Eliasson 'The Speed Of Your Attention' @ Tanya Bonakdar Gallery In Los Angeles

The speed of your attention is the new solo exhibition of Olafur Eliasson, it explores geometry, light, perception, and movement in new works that offer an array of interactive and meditative experiences as the viewer wanders through the galleries. In the entry, the viewer encounters Moving together, a freestanding installation of 54 crystal spheres. Arranged in a grid of six rows and nine columns, the spheres transition from completely transparent—in which the viewer sees her own upside-down reflection—to varying degrees of transparency and black, to solid black, depending on the viewing angle and the viewer’s movements. The speed of your attention is on view through December 22 at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery 1010 North Highland Avenue, Los Angeles. photographs by Summer Bowie

The Player at Museo Marini Marino

The Player (journey into contemporary passions) is a small selection comprising of international mid-career artists from the collection of Sandra and Giancarlo Bonollo. Comprising of philosophically intimate objects effused with the theme of travel. Globes positioned in a snail-shell whirl espouse many-worlds theories, as do photographs of allegorical space and time. Quietly haunting, the show is an orchestration of journeys and possibilities. This journey takes you across invisible borders, across separate timelines and back again. The Player will be on view until April 6 2013, at Museo Marini Marino, Piazza san Pancrazio, 50123 Florence, Italy.
