| Olafur Eliasson | Waterfalls in New York |
||||||
 The exhibition of Olafur Eliasson at MoMA will open at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on April 20th through June 30th. Olafur Eliasson is a Danish-Icelandic artist living in Berlin. Known for site-specific, immersive works that put museum-goers into an environment of the artist's devising, his work became well known throughout the world after a very successful exhibition, The Weather Project, at the Tate Modern in London. Take Your Time will coincide with The New York City Waterfalls project. A real event, a series of illuminated waterfalls will rise out of New York City's East River. The 90- to 120-foot tall installations will be visible from multiple points in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Governors Island. The New York City Waterfalls project has been organized by The Public Art Fund is New York's leading presenter of artists' projects, new commissions, and exhibitions in public spaces. For over 30 years the Public Art Fund has been committed to working with emerging and established artists to produce innovative exhibitions of contemporary art throughout New York City. By bringing artworks outside the traditional context of museums and galleries, the Public Art Fund provides a unique platform for an unparalleled public encounter with the art of our time. A website has been dedicated to Eliasson's Waterfall. The last leg of the exhibition Take Your Time is the Dallas Museum of Art from November 9th through March 15th, 2009.
