Olafur Eliasson: Presence

Immerse yourself in 'Olafur Eliasson: Presence'.

Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson invites us on an expansive, multi-sensory journey that engages our sense of perception.

Choose your path through a primordial landscape, encounter moments that heighten awareness and envision the future form of our city.

This Brisbane-exclusive exhibition draws from the three?decade career of one of the world's most influential living artists.

Spanning GOMA's ground floor galleries, it includes important early works and expansive site-specific installations, many developed especially for 'Presence'.

From the 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 (wear comfortable shoes); and The cubic structural evolution project 2004, a huge all-white LEGO city perpetually built and rebuilt by visitors throughout the exhibition.

Eliasson's artistic practice is grounded in the distinctive forms of his familial home Iceland, which will be reflected in a selection of photographs of the landscape, light and human experience of the country.

GOMA is open every Friday night in May and June during 'Olafur Eliasson: Presence'. While taking in the multi-sensory art of Eliasson, view live performances, meet up with friends, and enjoy drinks and delicious bites as DJs set the mood. GOMA Friday Nights is an invigorating end-of-week boost and the perfect place to connect after work.
