OLAFUR ELIASSON: Your lighthouse: WORKS WITH LIGHT 1991-2004
Eliasson's The Weather Project has proven to be one of the most memorable installations in Tate Modern's vast Turbine Hall. The 2003 work, just one of 146 projects detailed in this impressive catalogue of the Danish-born artist's 2004 exhibition at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, manipulated lights, mirrors and fog to give the effect of an imposing setting sun within the gallery's entrance. Essays by Holger Broeker, Gijs van Tuyl, Richard Dawkins, Jonathan Crary and Annelie Lütgens trace Eliasson's varied and sublime use of light, placing his practice within the tradition of 20th-century light-and-space art.
