BE EN-LIGHT-ENED AT OLAFUR ELIASSON’S “YOUR CURIOUS JOURNEY” EXHIBITION
Raffles Interior Designers went to the highly anticipated exhibition, Olafur Eliasson: Your Curious
Journey, at the Singapore Art Museum. This exhibition marked the first major Southeast Asian
solo showcase of the renowned Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, offering an immersive
experience into his three-decade-long career.
The exhibition, which explores themes of perception, climate action, and more-than-human
perspectives, captivated the students with its innovative use of ephemeral materials. Eliasson’s
works, often exploring invisible phenomena through tangible experiences, provided a profound
opportunity for interior design students to rethink the role of space, perception, and sensory
engagement in their own designs.
With pieces that reflect Eliasson’s deep commitment to environmental issues – such as works
that highlight glacial melt in Iceland – the exhibition not only inspired creativity but also aligned
with sustainable practices. The artist’s team has taken steps to minimize the exhibition’s carbon
footprint, showcasing how art can engage with pressing global concerns like climate change.
For Raffles Interior Designers, it was a chance to gain invaluable insights and inspiration from
Eliasson and be en-light-ened!
