Join renowned Danish-Icelandic artist and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Olafur Eliasson for a talk tracing his artistic practice over the last 25 years. From early works like 'Beauty' 1993, seminal installations like 'The weather project' 2003, to his monumental work 'Riverbed' 2014 in the exhibition ‘Water’ - Eliasson’s practice spans a broad range of media and inspires conversation about how art can turn thinking into doing in the world.
Tickets to ‘Water’ are on sale at www.qagoma.qld... This summer in Brisbane is all about finding somewhere cool to spend the day, surrounded by water. If that sounds like paradise, QAGOMA’s latest summer blockbuster has incredible experiences to make your summer the best yet.
Walk across a vast, rocky riverbed created by Olafur Eliasson; see animals from around the world gather together to drink from Cai Guo-Qiang’s brilliant blue waterhole; gaze at Peter Fischli and David Weiss’s snowman frozen in Brisbane’s summer heat; traverse a cloud of suspended gymnastic rings in a participatory artwork by William Forsythe; view the tidal currents rise and fall around Angela Tiatia; reflect on the cultural traditions of bodies of water, including the Brisbane River, with Judy Watson; and on the long history of our reliance on water through Megan Cope’s re-created midden... and so much more!
