Currently on view at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris is Olafur Eliasson: Contact, a monographic exhibition devoted to the internationally renowned Danish-Icelandic artist. In his show, which closes February 16, Eliasson explores the mysterious spatial effects of electric light, mirrors, and other materials to superbly complement the architecture of the strikingly sculptural building designed by Frank Gehry.
The installation is composed of eight, distinctive, interior spaces with such titles as Touch, Double Infinity, and Parallax Planet, and continues on several levels, including the main one. In one installation, Grotto: Inside the Horizon, Eliasson uses triangular beams of light to create a luminous yellow tunnel leading to one of the museum’s terraces. A ninth installation, Sun Tracker, is placed on the roof of the museum to throw natural light back onto a kaleidoscopic, geometric sculpture made of glass, which hangs in the lobby.
