Olafur Eliasson, Your Waste of Time, 2006

Overview

Olafur Eliasson’s Your Waste of Time was first exhibited in 2006 at neugerriemschneider, Berlin. The installation features large blocks of ice sourced from Iceland’s glaciers, which are placed in a refrigerated gallery. These glaciers are estimated to be around 800 years old, and the ice slowly melts over time, allowing viewers to see and feel the process of glacial decay firsthand. Eliasson’s work brings the distant realities of the Arctic and Antarctic into the exhibition space, making the issue of climate change tangible and immediate for the audience.Olafur Eliasson’s Your Waste of Time was first exhibited in 2006 at neugerriemschneider, Berlin.

Eliasson’s work brings the distant realities of the Arctic and Antarctic into the exhibition space, making the issue of climate change tangible and immediate for the audience.

Critical Analysis

In Your Waste of Time, Eliasson directly addresses the framework of environmental awareness by placing the melting ice in front of the viewers, allowing them to witness and feel the effects of climate change. This hands-on experience provides a more visceral understanding of environmental issues compared to traditional educational methods like photographs or scientific data. In China, there is a saying: "Seeing is believing," and Eliasson's work perfectly captures this idea. By presenting the ice in its raw form, the installation makes the phenomenon of glacier melt visible and palpable, which leaves a lasting impact on the audience.

One of the major themes in Eliasson’s work is the connection between physical experience and environmental education. Many people, myself included, have difficulty engaging with environmental problems because they feel too far removed from our daily lives. Before I began diving, I didn’t think much about environmental conservation. However, seeing marine life struggling in polluted waters made the problem real to me. Eliasson’s installation similarly brings an abstract, distant issue—glacial melting—into the viewers’ lives, encouraging a deeper connection to environmental issues through direct experience.

Eliasson’s work aligns with creative communities focused on environmental activism and art that fosters public engagement. His approach—using nature itself to engage viewers—has influenced my thinking about how to make my own curatorial practice more interactive and immersive. Your Waste of Time demonstrates how physical engagement can lower the barriers for understanding and increase the educational impact of art exhibitions. This work pushes me to reflect on how to better integrate natural elements and environmental themes into my exhibitions, creating opportunities for audiences to experience the urgency of environmental issues in real time.

By curating such powerful, interactive experiences, I aim to make environmental issues more accessible and personal, much like Eliasson does. His ability to create emotional connections with nature inspires me to consider how art can engage and educate in ways that traditional methods often fail to achieve.

Carlier Gebauer Gallery, 所属作家のグループ展。どれも似た感じの作品で個展かなと思ったくらい。それだけ、このギャラリーの傾向がはっきり見える。

同じギャラリーのもう一つの展覧会はJelena Bulajic, セルビア出身のアーティスト。写真ではなくて全て絵。

Meyer Riegger Gallery, Anna Hulačová, 見ての通りキッチンなんだけど、よく見ると人の腕が切れてたり、顔がなかったりシュール。キッチンといってすぐ浮かぶ典型的なイメージを覆して、ここでは精神科の診療所を訪れたかのような雰囲気に仕立ててるのだそう。

たぶん、右側の女性がアーティストかな？隣りにある彫像の体型が彼女にそっくり。上の写真の、棚の中にある液体みたいなオブジェを制作し写真として合成したんだろうけど、私にはそっちのほうが実在する立体より強く感じる。他の彫像��写真として展示したら、立体作品なのに”その場にない”ってことで、もっと彼女が表したい不安定な精神世界みたいなのが強く表せただろうに・・・と思う。

Ján Mančuška’s, もう一つの展示。ライトボックスの前にフィルムが螺旋状に展示されてる。オブジェとして綺麗だけど、それ以上興味がもてなかった。

neugerriemschneider Gallery, Thaddeus Strode, このギャラリーは一貫してギャラリーのウェブサイトがなく、本当に興味あるならメールで問い合わせてくださいスタイル。いいんだけど。

この人がお手本としている作家が3~4人すぐ浮かんで来る。好きな作家のスタイルを取り入れるのは結構。でもそれをミックスしてるだけで、この作品この人でなくてもいいんじゃない？って思わせる。

これなんてRaymond Pettibonの影響だし。技術じゃなくて内容の面白さにパンチがない。ある程度名のあるギャラリーなので売れるだろうし、インテリアとして需要があるのは想像できる。

Kuckei + Kuckei Gallery, Oliver van den Berg, 5分、いや3分は楽しめる。綺麗で目を引くし技術も凄いし、クスッと笑える。でもそれ以上はない。

Kabinett Nagel Draxler, Joëlle Tuerlinckx, ベルギー人作家。 とにかく小さなスペースに所狭しと作品があって、内容もコンセプチュアルだし、最初はとっつきづらく嫌悪感すら覚えたけど、後日この日見た中で一番印象に残ってるのはこの作家だった。ちなみにこの立方体は手前からコンクリート、真ん中が金属、一番奥が木で出来ている。モチーフ自体はこんなにシンプルなのに、作家が色々試している、考えてること��見えてきて、後からジワジワくる。

写真に撮らなかったのが残念なんだけど、一番印象に残った作品は壁一面に、何かを塗った時に下敷として使ったのかな？と思わせる白い紙が隙間なく貼られてて、一瞬なんの意味があるんだろう？と思ったけど、何かをした痕跡だけを見せてる。その壁に貼られた紙だけで一部屋インスタレーションしたら強いだろうな～と思ったら、既にやっていた。

作家がいろいろ考えて形にしていく間も時間は平等に流れてて・・・、わざわざアートにしようとする行動や考えの逆を作品にしている。この作家と一個手前の木製マイクでインタビュー状況を表現した作家は対局にいるよね。どちらもアートだけど、深いのはこっち。

Michel Majerus DATA STREAMING November 11, 2022 – March 03, 2023 Kunstverein in Hamburg The exhibition DATA STREAMING shows a series of works from the later stage of Michel Majerus’ (1967–2002) œuvre in which the artist vigorously negotiates the coming of age of the digital within visual culture in the 1990s and early 2000s. In this body of work, Majerus suspends figurative and abstract elements of painting with digital printing technologies that were emerging at the time. DATA STREAMING is part of a series of exhibitions that will look at Majerus’ œuvre anew, taking place at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, the Michel Majerus Estate, and at neugerriemschneider for the 20th anniversary of Michel Majerus’ passing. In parallel, thirteen museums throughout Germany will show works by Michel Majerus from their collections. ______ Images: Michel Majerus, DATA STREAMING, Installation View, Kunstverein in Hamburg, 2022.

In his seminal 2003 site-installation "The Weather Project", Olafur Eliasson @studioolafureliasson conjured the sublime beauty of nature by creating the illusion of the sun setting inside Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall. For his latest work, "LIFE" at the @fondationbeyeler in #Riehen, Switzerland, the Berlin-based Danish-Icelandic artist goes one step further by allowing nature to literally take over the museum’s interior. . .

BILLY CHILDISH 

 On this day of 1st December, Billy Childish (born Steven John Hamper, 1 December 1959) was born in Chatham, Kent, England.

He is a painter, author, poet, photographer, filmmaker, singer, and guitarist. Childish has been prolific in creating music, writing, and visual art. He has led and played in bands including the Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats, and the Musicians of the British Empire, primarily working in the genres of garage rock, punk, and surf and releasing more than 100 albums.

Childish was accepted into art school four times on the strength of his paintings and drawings. He did a foundation year at Medway College of Design (now the University for the Creative Arts) and at Saint Martin's School of Art, before quitting a month later. He was re-accepted at St Martin’s but was expelled for refusing to paint in the art school and other unruly behaviour.

Childish became friends with Peter Doig with whom he shared an appreciation of Munch, Van Gogh, and blues music. Doig later co-curated Childish's first London show at the Cubit Street Gallery.  Childish was a "major influence" on the artist Tracey Emin,

Childish exhibited extensively and featured in the British Art Show, at The ICA London, and at White Columns Gallery in NY.

Childish is represented by neugerriemschneider Berlin, Lehmann Maupin, NY, Carl Freedman, Margate and L-13 Light Industrial Workshop, London.

Childish presented his work at ‘Art Below Regents Park' in Regent's Park Tube station.

Childish formed the "non organisation" The British Art Resistance and held an exhibition under the title Hero of The British Art Resistance at The Aquarium L-13 gallery in London: A collection of paintings, books, records, pamphlets, poems, prints, letters, film, photographs.

Childish was highly influenced by Dada and the work of Kurt Schwitters. Childish has a Kurt Schwitters poem tattooed on his left buttock and made a short film on Schwitters's life.

Tracey Emin was once asked

"Which person do you think has had the greatest influence on your life?"

She replied:

“Uhmm... It's not a person really. It was more a time, going to Maidstone College of Art, hanging around with Childish, living by the River Medway.”
