The weather is warming, so it’s a fine time to head outdoors and experience Olafur Eliasson’s recent installation on Berlin’s Pfaueninsel. Eliasson, the artist who installed a giant sun inside the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall and built waterfalls in New York City, has produced a series called Innen Stadt Außen (Inner City Out).
The exhibition is about…
‘….the relationships between museum and cities, architecture and landscape. The exhibition, which includes new installations especially for the space, capitalizes on Berlin’s status as a site of constant change, uniquely open to experiments with architecture and urban structure. The site-specific investigations within the museum are amplified and examined through various ephemeral projects in public space, linking the Martin-Gropius-Bau to outer points within the city.’
The main portion of the exhibition opens at the Martin-Gropius-Bau on April 28, but one object entitled The Blind Pavilion can already be seen on the Pfaueninsel, in the middle of Wannsee, just south-west of the city. No need to rush out, it’s there until October 31.
