i'm a huge experiential art and sculpture fan

Olafur Eliasson

Probably most famous in the States for his recent 'Waterfalls' in New York....
but he's been incredibly prolific in the past decade - having major exhibitions at Tate Modern, SF MoMA, The Venice Biennalle, The Serpentine Gallery, MoMA etc.

This was one of my favourites
'The Weather Project' at the Tate Modern in London

I saw the Waterfalls exhibit via the S.S. Manhattan yacht. Very cool exhibit and sailing around Manhattan is always a great way to spend an afternoon.

Did you come here to see it?
