Most of the time, modern education is defined by the roles of teacher and student; master and apprentice. But Olafur Eliasson’s educational endeavour, Institut für Raumexperimente, transgresses these didactic tendencies.
You don’t really know a person unless you’ve been inside their house; until you’ve witnessed the oddities, the sentiment, the junk and the stories revealed in a frighteningly neat stack of magazines or a mouldy bathroom towel. An artist’s studio is no different.
I first encountered the slow and vertical descent and ascent of Olafur Eliasson’s ‘Inverted Berlin Sphere’ (2005) during the landmark group exhibition 36 x 27 x 10.
