Created by Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, Riverbed is an indoor exhibition that recreates a rugged landscape with a stream of water.
Presented at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, the Riverbed exhibition is inspired by the landscape of Iceland and the Humlebæk coast of Demark where the museum is situated.
“When I walk or drive through the Icelandic landscape, I sense the surroundings and sense myself searching for sense,” said Eliasson. “This vast landscape is like a test site that nurtures ideas and helps me process them into felt feelings –maybe even into art.”
“Since the beginning of the collaboration it has been clear that a solo exhibition of Eliasson’s work at Louisiana would inevitably be a radical, site-specific exhibition dealing with the reality of the museum as an institution and physical locality,” said Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
“Movement through the space at Humblebaek has always been at the heart of the experience – the architects have made sure of that, and Eliasson wishes to profile this as the most important feature in Louisiana,” added the museum.
