Your curious journey marks the first solo showcase of the Icelandic-Danish artist, Olafur Eliasson, in Aotearoa New Zealand. This retrospective highlights over 30 years of Eliasson’s practice, featuring installations, sculptures, and photographs that explore themes of human perception, experimentation, and environmental awareness.
Eliasson describes the exhibition as a collection of diverse artworks that invite visitors to embark on their own journeys. “What fascinates me is how the different ways we observe natural phenomena can connect us, not just to each other, but also to the larger world around us. That’s something I try to work with in my art: experiences that welcome everyone.”
Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey has been developed in collaboration with Studio Olafur Eliasson and leading art institutions across Asia. The exhibition was first presented at Singapore Art Museum (10 May–22 Sep 2024). Following its visit to Auckland, the exhibition will travel to Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taiwan (31 May–31 Aug 2025); Museum MACAN, Jakarta, Indonesia (21 Nov 2025–5 April 2026); and Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, Manila, Philippines (28 June–October 2026).
This exhibition is supported by the Auckland Art Gallery Foundation. The exhibition is presented in association with Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival 2025.
