Free Public Lecture
Olafur Eliasson Fri / August 6 / 5pm
Danish artist Olafur Eliasson is well known for site-specific sculptures and installations that reflect his unique vision of the natural world. His works fuse aspects of Earth and Minimal Art and often utilize common elements from nature, such as grass, light, steam, water, or ice. His projects are often simulations of natural phenomena which the artist renders through manmade processes. All of Eliasson's art‹whether sculpture, installation, or photography‹is intended to create a heightened sense of the viewer's surroundings.
