Take your time: Olafur Eliasson
Sep 08, 2007 - Feb 24, 2008
Olafur Eliasson has created a new work of art as part of a long-running art car program sponsored by BMW. His work transforms BMW`s H2R hydrogen-powered race car, shrouding the alternative fuel vehicle in a new skin of steel mesh, mirror-coated stainless steel, and many layers of ice to focus our attention on the relation between car design and global warming. This exhibition features the frozen vehicle, titled Your mobile expectations: BMW H2R project, in its first public and sole U.S. presentation, in conjunction with the Eliasson survey exhibition. Encased in a room-size freezer in the Museum`s architecture and design galleries, Your mobile expectations is accompanied by a short film focusing on a series of workshops related to the project in the artist`s studio, underscoring Eliasson`s experimental approach and ongoing interest in using his art practice as a means of social action.
