@contemporary100: ‘Ice Watch’ (2018) temporary installation by Olafur Eliasson @ studioolafureliasson (ig) outside Tate Modern @Tate The first installation was in Copenhagen, at City Hall Square, from 26 to 29 October 2014, to mark the publication of the UN IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report on Climate Change. The second installation took place in Paris, at Place du Panthéon, from 3 to 13 December 2015, on the occasion of the UN Climate Conference COP21, and the third version of Ice Watch was on view from 11 December 2018 to 2 January 2019 at two locations in London – outside Bloomberg’s European headquarters and in front of Tate Modern. Eliasson hoped that the project would “give feelings to things that are otherwise unemotional” and encourage the “big players, the state, but also the private sector and large companies” to act. “It is so abstract, it’s so far away Greenland, it’s literally out of our body and it’s in our brain and I wanted simply to change that narrative of the climate from our brain and emotionalise it into our bodies,” Sources: olafureliasson.net / dezeen.com article by Gunseli Yalcinkaya #contemporaryart #artvideo #art #explorepage #fyp #contemporaryartist #artdocumentary #artdocumentary #minidoc #installation #iceberg
