Description:
(Icelandic–Danish Artist) Olafur Eliasson is a prominent Icelandic-Danish artist known for his sculptural and large-scale installation art that incorporates fundamental materials such as light, water, and air temperature to offer immersive experiences to audiences. He established Studio Olafur Eliasson in Berlin in 1995 and Studio Other Spaces in 2014 in collaboration with architect Sebastian Behmann. Some of his notable projects include representing Denmark at the 50th Venice Biennale, creating The Weather Project at Tate Modern, and producing public works like Green River and The New York City Waterfalls. Eliasson's work often blurs the boundaries between art and science, as seen in pieces like the Breakthrough Prize trophy. He has also taken on teaching roles at various educational institutions.
