Olafur Eliasson: Presence

Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson invites us on an expansive multi-sensory journey to the edges of perception. Choose your path through a rocky, primordial landscape, navigate an optical puzzle, or envision the future form of our city. This Brisbane-exclusive exhibition draws from the three-decade career of one of the world's most influential living artists. Spanning the Gallery of Modern Art's (GOMA) ground floor galleries, the exhibition will include important early works and expansive site-specific installations, many never before seen in Australia. Eliasson's creations come to life as they meet the viewer's senses and body. Two much-loved QAGOMA collection works feature: the rocky landscape and running water of the immense and immersive 'Riverbed' 2014; and 'The cubic structural evolution project '2004, a huge all-white LEGO city perpetually built and rebuilt by visitors throughout the exhibition. Eliasson's artistic practice is grounded in the distinctive forms of his familial home Iceland, which will be reflected in a selection of photographs of the landscape, light and human experience of the country. Tickets on sale soon.
