DESCRIPTION:
USC students are invited to experience a guided tour of Olafur Eliasson: OPEN at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Little Tokyo. In line with the Berlin-based, Icelandic-Danish artist’s career-long exploration of light and color, geometry, and environmental awareness, OPEN playfully engages with material and immaterial qualities of the museum’s architecture. A series of large-scale optical devices designed specifically for MOCA Geffen will respond to the building itself, as well as to the everchanging atmosphere of Los Angeles. Visitors will encounter a dazzling range of sensory experiences that harness the laws of geometric optics to address feelings and concepts of embodiment, perception, and participation.

Please be advised that Olafur Eliasson: OPEN features low lighting in some galleries and one artwork with flashing lights.

Olafur Eliasson: OPEN is among the more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide. This landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is a Getty Initiative.

Olafur Eliasson: OPEN is organized by José Luis Blondet, Senior Curator, and Rebecca Lowery, Associate Curator, with Emilia Nicholson-Fajardo, Curatorial Assistant, and Anastasia Kahn, former Curatorial Assistant, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
