About this event
Come along and share an inspiring cultural experience with the Better Connect+ community as we explore Olafur Eliasson’s groundbreaking works — together.
Meet at GOMA bookshop entrance by 10.15am for a 10.30 entrance. This is limited and entrance time controlled exhibition. Better Connect+ has purchased 5 tickets.
This Brisbane-exclusive exhibition draws from the three-decade career of one of the world's most influential living artists. Spanning the Gallery of Modern Art's (GOMA) ground floor galleries, the exhibition will include important early works and expansive site-specific installations, many never before seen in Australia.
From the magical early work Beauty 1993, which suspends a rainbow in a veil of mist, to Pluriverse assembly 2021, a spatial installation that unfurls ever-changing reflections of light, Eliasson's creations come to life as they meet the viewer's senses and body.
Two much-loved QAGOMA works feature: the rocky landscape and running water of the immense and immersive Riverbed 2014; and The cubic structural evolution project 2004, a huge all-white LEGO city perpetually built and rebuilt by visitors throughout the exhibition.
