Take your time: Olafur Eliasson may have closed, but the artist continues to undertake more projects than ‘The cubic structural evolution project’ has LEGO parts. (Ok, maybe not that many) but Olafur Eliasson has just unveiled a new exhibition at Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art in Beijing, China.
The MCA team begin to bump out Take your time: Olafur Eliasson
A huge thank you from the MCA team for taking your time over the past few months. We’ll still be posting bits and pieces (including the competition winner!) here over the next few weeks. Make sure that you take the time to stop by.
Friday April 9. They say that too many chefs spoil the broth, in this case we beg to differ.
Each week, Olafur Eliasson’s ‘The structural evolution project’ (2004) morphs into everything from city skylines to skulls, lonely landscapes and animals. This week it looks like the above. Click below and scroll down to witness the evolution at MCA.

Ever since Take your time: Olafur Eliasson opened on December 10, 2009, we have been running a competition that aims to directly connect one of you with Copenhagen, where Eliasson grew up. To enter, all you need to do is see the exhibition (very important!) and then tell us how it made you feel. Here are some of our favourite entries so far:

Olafur Eliasson’s upcoming exhibition Innen Stadt Außen is especially significant for two reasons. One, because it is his first solo exhibition in a Berlin institution. And two, because it centres on his close relationship with the city in which he works and lives.

This one is for all the New Yorkers out there (or those lucky enough to be visiting the Big Apple in the next week). Tanya Bonakdar Gallery recently opened a new exhibition by Olafur Eliasson titled Multiple shadow house. The namesake work in the exhibition combines Eliasson’s long running fascination with optics, light, colour and… us.

The MCA will be open until 8pm for the last four Thursdays of Take your time: Olafur Eliasson.
You’ve peered through ‘Sunset kaleidoscope’ (2005) in the morning and sniffed about ‘Moss wall’ (1994) in the afternoon, but we bet you haven’t walked through ‘One way colour tunnel’ (2007) at night – until now.
