Olafur Eliasson in "Berlin"Preview

September 5, 2018

Olafur Eliasson considers the impact of art beyond the object in this preview of the upcoming “Berlin” episode from Season 9 of the “Art in the Twenty-First Century” television series.

Shown at work on his “Reality projector” (2018) installation for the Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles, Eliasson narrows in on the introspective potential of experiencing a work of art. “Instead of questioning the object, you are in fact questioning yourself,” says the artist. “Art can somehow offer an opportunity to do some self-evaluation.”

“Berlin” from Season 9 of Art in the Twenty-First Century premiered September 21, 2018 on PBS. Watch the full episode and artist segment.
