Art is about finding creativity in the gutter next to you.
Olafur Eliasson
Danish artist Olafur Eliasson’s sculptures often draw on natural elements, inspired by the unique Scandinavian landscapes of his childhood. In one of his most famous installations (2014-2018), Eliasson teamed up with geologist Minik Rosing to display fragments of an Arctic iceberg in European cities in order to highlight the climate crisis. His art is very much a product of his surroundings — the ordinary turned extraordinary. Here, Eliasson advises us that our next idea may come from somewhere unexpected; all we have to do is pay attention.
