Your Space Embracer, 2004Olafur Eliasson

In the work of Danish Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson,
the sun can rise inside a museum and rainbows can appear indoors.
— Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson
Got a chance to see a very small portion of Olafur Eliasson's work at Museum für Gegenwartskunst. I was really excited when I found his online exhibition. The website is well designed and the photographs are amazing. Not sure if I would get his work just by looking at them—the descriptions helped a lot. I am not a huge fan of contemporary arts, as I do not know how to appreciate them fully, but his works sure caught my eye.
Very memorable. Very clever.

View Point, 2008Ceal Floyer
Another notable piece shown at the Above the Fold & Collection Selection exhibition. This installation is specifically made for this exhibition. An image of a hand holding a pen is projected onto the floor (hand) and column (pen). "This gesture of measurement, of proportional and perspectiveal determination of objects in the room, activates the relationships of size and […] diverts attention from the actual projection to the sheer presence of the surrounding space, to a point outside the picture."
the quoted text is from a Museum für Gegenwartskunst publication.
