La creatività di Olafur Eliasson va in scena a Londra

9 Luglio 2019

Con "Olafur Eliasson: In real life" la Tate Modern di Londra ricostruisce tre decenni di produzione dell'artista danese. Fino al 5 gennaio 2020, gli spazi interni e la terrazza esterna dell'istituzione inglese ospiteranno oltre 30 lavori dell'autore, fra cui le prime indagini sullo spazio e sui fenomeni naturali e gli esperimenti iniziali nei campi della luce, del colore, della geometria e della percezione. Accompagnata da una serie di eventi pubblici, la mostra sarà successivamente riproposta al Museo Guggenheim di Bilbao, in Spagna, a partire dal 14 febbraio 2020.
