Olafur Eliasson Bundle
This collections of 4 books by acclaimed Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson gives an overview on his approach to art, architecture and research. Olafur Eliasson believes that art is a practice through which vital aspects of society and life may be examined and challenged. “Your Engagement Has Consequences” presents three of his large-scale installations that leave lasting, and sometimes disturbing impressions. “Your Chance Encounter” is a publication for the exhibition in the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan, for which he developed a sequence of spatial experiments that challenges visitors to move around and stimulates them to see the museum as a public space for addressing art and reality critically. In the BMW H2R research project, Eliasson raises questions of formgiving and materiality, mobility, temporality, movement, and renewable energy. The accompanying publication “Your mobile expectations” comprises extensive visual material; excerpts from two seminars held in 2006/2007; and conversations between Olafur Eliasson and a number of distinguished artists and thinkers. In 2007, the Serpentine Gallery commissioned Olafur Eliasson and architect Kjetil Thorsen to design its Pavilion. Based on the principle of a winding ramp, the Pavilion explores the idea of vertical circulation within a single space, illustrated in the pertaining publication.
