Olafur Eliasson at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery

Olafur Eliasson, Object defined by activity (now), Object defined by activity (soon) and Object defined by activity (then) (2009).

Though not many of Olafur Eliasson’s projects are going to measure up to the impact of his past large-scale artworks (creating waterfalls on New York City’s East River or a sun in the Tate’s Turbine Hall), his latest solo show at Chelsea’s Tanya Bonakdar Gallery features this simple but mesmerizing display of three fountains, lit by strobes, which turn moving water into seemingly static sculptures. (through Dec 22nd).
