Maria Brendel talk at Vancouver Island School of Art

ARTIST TALK - Wednesday, March 23 @ 7:30
Olafur Eliasson and the Narcissistic Studio    
by Maria Brendel (from Berlin) 
Maria Brendel will concentrate on Olafur Eliasson's art, an Icelander in Berlin. The main focus will be on his last  city wide exhibition in Berlin (2010) where he explored light, the possibility of high tech,the urban sphere, time and space as well as local histories. Maria will talk about this all the while pointing to his studio practice, which  she calls the 'narcissistic studio'. Eliasson is a fascinating artist who works mainly with installations using ephemeral materials such as ice and light. Maria Brendel (Ph.D.) is an Art Historian and Art Critic in Berlin.
