Olafur Eliasson at SFMOMA
Eliasson, the artist behind The weather project, the hugely popular installation at Tate Modern in London four years ago, is having his first major U.S. survey show. I went out to San Francisco a few weeks ago to see it. Here's a fraction of my reaction in this week's Time. Over the next week or two I'll post more about what I saw and the people I talked to while I was out there.
Imperfect Internet Alert: I discover that words that appear in italics in the magazine don't translate that way on line. Which means that when I discuss Beauty, the name of an Eliasson piece, in the article I just linked you to, on line it just looks like the word Beauty, not the name of a piece. That can get confusing, no? So if you go there, Beauty is a work, and a very interesting one, not just a word.
In fact, here it is:

One of these days we will get the internet....
...to work.
UPDATE: The techies at Time.com have fixed the italics glitch. Beauty is now Beauty again. That's beautiful.
