Last chance to see Olafur Eliasson ‘Nel tuo tempo’ at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence

Olafur Eliasson Nel tuo tempo (In your Time) is on show at the Florentine Palazzo Strozzi from September 22nd 2022 until January 22nd 2023. The new exhibition by Icelandic-Danish artist is his first major show in Italy to date and features both new installations and older work responding to the architecture of the hosting Renaissance building. The new project fosters connection and dialogue between the visitors and the hosting space, as well as it engages the audience to take an active part part in an exploratory journey of glowing lights and puzzling appearance. It features light, shadows, reflections, kaleidoscopic installations and VR technology creating a powerful experience of perception and subjective interaction with the artworks and with Palazzo Strozzi itself.

The exhibition is curated by Arturo Galansino, Director of Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi since 2015, marking the Foundation’s return to contemporary art after Donatello, the Renaissance, the majestic showcase reconstructing the life, work and legacy of the “Master of the Masters” of Qattrocento. The relationship with Renaissance is one of the main themes underpinning the artistic concept of Nel tuo Tempo, through which Olafur Eliassion encourages us to reflect on the way we use our time as well as how we perceive the social spaces we dwell in. Palazzo Strozzi, the quintessential Renaissance building becomes the backdrop and the meeting point between the exhibition and the visitors, between space and time.
