Olafur Eliasson: OPEN | Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles

"Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967, Copenhagen; lives and works in Berlin) presents a new site-specific installation made for The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. In line with Eliasson’s career-long exploration of light and color, geometry, and environmental awareness, the installation playfully engages with material and immaterial qualities of the museum’s architecture. A series of large-scale optical devices designed specifically for MOCA Geffen responds to the building itself, as well as to the everchanging atmosphere of Los Angeles. Visitors encounter a dazzling range of sensory experiences that harness the laws of geometric optics to address feelings and concepts of embodiment, perception, and participation.

Please be advised that Olafur Eliasson: OPEN features low lighting in some galleries and one artwork with flashing lights." - Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles
