Experience art
Olafur Eliasson the Icelandic-Danish artist is renowned for creating works that inquire into and inspire the senses of people. His sculptures and installations are often co-completed with the onlookers, such as Rainbow Assembly, which is in the collection of Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing and is now on show to bring people an experience of cooling down in summer. The work is a typical example of Eliasson's philosophy of art that everyone will have a unique view of and build a distinctive relationship with. While Eliasson's works rely on advanced technology, viewers of his art, however, will gradually forget about technology and are ushered into a spiritual state. The display runs till Oct 16.
