fabriquer des nuages, Olafur Eliasson

On a small caps mood. Searching for a different perspective, a regular at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where Olafur Eliasson shows "Take your Time". Follow the trail, sniffing hound dog, I've stumbled on Fabriquer des Nuages I and II, by Mobilo Me* "un nuage est fait d’eau", "il est aussi chaleur translucide", "il est aussi phénomène ", "mais énergie destructrice", "et puis c’est beau". The images surpass the clouds they build.

"Seeing yourself seeing art as experiment your experience is individual why take your time?" é o caminho da exposição de Olafur Eliasson online; online como é hábito no SF MOMA.

Beauty, 1993

Searching and finding, borrowing eyes: "How can art create a critical space for seeing the world? How can art encourage us to frame our own experiences, to ask "What am I sensing and why?" (O.Eliasson)


Art Now, Episode 1 - Olafur Eliasson

The exhibition at the SF Museum is extraordinary. As are all of Eliasson's works and projects. One of the most dramatic and conspicuous: the "Weather Project" at the Tate.


"In this installation, The Weather Project, representations of the sun and sky dominate the expanse of the Turbine Hall. A fine mist permeates the space, as if creeping in from the environment outside. Throughout the day, the mist accumulates into faint, cloud-like formations, before dissipating across the space. A glance overhead, to see where the mist might escape, reveals that the ceiling of the Turbine Hall has disappeared, replaced by a reflection of the space below. At the far end of the hall is a giant semi-circular form made up of hundreds of mono-frequency lamps. The arc repeated in the mirror overhead produces a sphere of dazzling radiance linking the real space with the reflection. Generally used in street lighting, mono-frequency lamps emit light at such a narrow frequency that colours other than yellow and black are invisible, thus transforming the visual field around the sun into a vast duotone landscape."
