Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson is the first comprehensive survey in the United States of works by Olafur Eliasson, whose immersive environments, sculptures, and photographs elegantly recreate the extremes of landscape and atmosphere in his native Scandinavia, while foregrounding the sensory experience of the work itself. Drawn from collections worldwide, the presentation will span 15 years of Eliasson’s career. His constructions, at once eccentric and highly geometric, use crystalline tunnels of mirrors, multicolored washes or focused projections of light, and elements such as water, stone, and moss to shift the viewer’s perception of place and self. By transforming the gallery into a hybrid space of nature and culture, Eliasson prompts an intensive engagement with the world and offers a fresh consideration of everyday life. This exhibition will be on view in the Special Exhibitions Gallery at MoMA and on the Third Floor Main Gallery, Duplex, and Basement at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue that will include original essays by scholars and curators.
