Description
|
In 2005 Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen asked Danish/Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson to develop a specific project for its main exhibition spaces in Rotterdam. As a result Eliasson created a huge three-part installation covering the 1200 square meters of the museums exhibition space. The installation Notion Motion was purchased by the museum and will be re-installed at the end of May, 2010. Two years later Eliasson wanted to include some parts of the installation Notion Motion in his touring exhibition in the United States. How does this work? What parameters are essential to the core of the work? What is the freedom of re-interpretation of the work and who has this freedom? Furthermore some questions about preservation of different elements of the work, and about the 'problems' of how to describe the work for re-installation, will be subjects of this session.
