Art Now -- Episode 1 Olafur Eliasson in Conversation



"The danger with entertainment is of course detaching time and refering to space as if it is a picture."
"How does one actually put time back into space?"
"There´s this play about where do you actually create the space or does the space extendidly create you?"
"The museums are not just standing stills as kind of objetive autonomous shells. They are involved in a kind of more or less market based ecconomy of experiences."
"How does one actually within that frame succeed comunicating art in a way that accelerates serious questions?"
"That´s always my fear: to end up entertaining and to become affirmative and sort of re-institutionalize the already very rigid and conservative and static idea of time and space, that museums to a greater extend are still doing". (Olafur Eliasson)
