Provenance neugerriemschneider, Berlin Exhibited Sweden, Lund Konsthall, The Light Setup, September 10, 2005 - January 8, 2006 (another example exhibited); New York, PS1 Contemporary Art Center, Take your time: Olafur Eliasson April 13 - June 30, 2008 Catalogue Essay Eliasson’s work is positioned within an urban realm, yet it evokes natural phenomena; it is assisted by the most minimal and clear of constructions, leaving little formal imprint, yet it brims with rich, unpredictable detail and tactility; it knowingly and explicitly collapses the natural and the artificial, the evanescent and the concrete, the literal and the metaphoric; and it constitutes itself finally in the eye, which is imbricated in the body. M. Grynsztejn, ed., Olafur Eliasson New York, 2002, p. 53 Olafur Eliasson is best known for his incredible ability to blend together art, nature and science in such an organic way that the main focus falls on the viewer. Like most of his works, Striped Eye Lamp is rooted in Eliasson’s fascination with how humans perceive and react to sensorial stimuli, in this case light and color. Constructed of a multi-colored glass cylinder mounted to a tripod the lamp projects horizontal bands of colored light across a room. Rather than being hidden behind the scenes, these utilitarian materials become an integral part of experiencing the artwork. By having access to the mehanical parts that make up the ephemeral whole, the viewer is given carte blanche to interact with the art. Depending on where the viewer enters the room or where they stand in relation to Striped Eye Lamp or to a wall, the visual input will vary. Therefore, by walking through a room and changing their perspective, the viewer will experience a continually evolving understanding of the piece as the colors emanate in different directions and shift around them. This essential participation is the central principal of Eliasson’s work. Read More
