door_of_timeWe saw this exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney:
Take your time: Olafur Eliasson
It explores colour in numerous ways, including painting, sculpture, and installations, including whole rooms taken up by deceptively simple displays of light, which encourage you to interact and experiment. Plus a room full of white Lego to muck about with! I ended up with a childlike, gleeful grin. I do recommend it. :D
From the brochure: "Individual works find inspiration in the distinctive landscape of [Iceland]; theories of colour and perception; and the recent history of art and its shift from physical object to idea or sensation. Drawing careful attention to the ways in which we perceive the world about us, they invite us to become active agents in the creation of meaning, rather than passive observers."
