Overview

Ólafur Elíasson's practice explores the significance of art in the global context. He was born in Copenhagen to Icelandic parents and studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In 1995, he established Studio Olafur Eliasson as a laboratory for spatial research in Berlin which today comprises a large team of craftsmen, architects, archivists, researchers, administrators, cooks, programmers, art historians, and specialised technicians. 

 

Ólafur Elíasson (b. 1967, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen and Berlin. He has had wide-ranging solo shows in major museums around the globe, including currently at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2024), and recently at the National Museum of Qatar (2023), Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland (2021) and the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain (2020). Eliasson has engaged in numerous projects in public space and architectural designs, including the façade of Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik, Iceland, and he represented Denmark at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003.
