Olafur Eliasson's Your Colour Memory
2004.09.29 12:16
Images of Olafur Eliasson's Your Colour Memory (2004) presently installed at Arcadia University Art Gallery (within the quondam power house of Grey Towers by Horace Trumbauer) are available at 1745 and follows.
The color of the curved wall changes randomly and continually, and what the naked eye sees in the space is not the same as what a digital camera records, ie, people in the space do not appear totally tinted when viewed by the naked eye. Moreover, the captured digital image is not exactly the same as the image when it appeared on the camera's monitor, ie, the resultant image file is much more tinted.
Your Colour Memory is a nice, provocative hybrid of art and architecture.
Abele likes referring to the piece as Colored People's Husker Du.
