About the Item
Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) is a critically acclaimed Icelandic-Danish artist recognized for his work across multiple mediums including installations, sculpture, painting, photography, and film.
A long-time advocate of climate activism, Eliasson's work situates the viewer in immersive atmospheric environments, offering tangible experiences that epitomize the most ominous threat of our lifetime.
Engulfed in multisensory experiences, Eliasson invites the audience to contemplate our interdependence with the earth while highlighting the significance of personal accountability in combating climate issues.
"Your Reversed Berlin" features the Berlin cityscape shot from the artist's studio at an elevated vantage point. The same image is duplicated and inverted to fit into a circular reproduction, which is overlayed in the center of the work to complete the original image.
Color filled-glass covers the surface of the second photo, its hue alternating based on varied lighting. The glass doubles as a mirror, confronting the viewer with their own reflection when standing directly in front of the work.
"Your Reversed Berlin" was commissioned by the Canadian Friends of the Israel Museum in consortium with Benefit Print Project to mark the 50th anniversary of the Israel Museum. In 2022, the work was included in Hot Mess, an annual exhibition in Berlin that showcases the work of Berlin-based artists.
Eliasson's work is featured in permanent collections around the world including Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), Centre for International Light Art (Unna, Germany), Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), and Colección Jumex, (Mexico City, Mexico).

Olafur Eliasson
Through his photography, drawings, paintings, films, sculptures and large-scale immersive installations that integrate natural elements such as light, water and air, artist Olafur Eliasson is focused on sustainability and climate change, and seeks to explore how human beings interact with their environment.
Born in 1967, Eliasson grew up in Denmark and Iceland and studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1989 to 1995. Following graduation, he moved to Berlin, where he founded his design studio — Studio Olafur Eliasson.
Since 1997, Eliasson’s works have appeared in numerous museums worldwide, with his public-space installations garnering critical acclaim throughout the 2000s. In 2003, he represented Denmark at the 50th Venice Biennale. That same year, he introduced his installation, The Weather Project, at the Tate Modern in London, for which he worked with a semi-circular screen, a ceiling of mirrors and artificial mist to create the illusion of a sun.
In 2008, he was commissioned by New York’s Public Art Fund to create a public space project called Waterfalls, which was installed in several locations along New York City’s waterfronts. Then, in 2011, Eliasson created Your Rainbow Panorama, a circular, richly colored glass walkway on top of the ARoS Museum in Aarhus, Denmark.
For Eliasson’s famous work Ice Watch, he and geologist Minik Rosing brought icebergs from Greenland to public squares in Copenhagen (2014), Paris (2015) and London (2018) in order to raise awareness of climate change.
Eliasson’s dedication to environmentalism extends past his art. In 2012, he founded the company Little Sun with engineer Frederik Ottesen, which produces and distributes solar lamps and chargers for use in off-grid communities.

- AlexBy Attila Richard LukacsLocated in Toronto, OntarioAttila Richard Lukacs (b. 1962) is one of Canada's most distinctive if not revolutionary Canadian figurative painters. Lukacs established his reputation in the 1980s by creating astonishing large-scale paintings that depicted skinheads, construction workers, and other masculine archetypes in elaborate and erotic scenes. The physical presence of the Lukacs' male subjects stands out as one of the artist's most distinctive aesthetic elements. With meticulous attention to form and proportions, Lukacs skillfully renders his young men with expressive brushwork and an intense, moody palette reminiscent of the old masters. Despite the monumental scale of his canvases, Lukacs begins his creative process with a much more intimate and modern day tool: the Polaroid. Because of its immediacy and simplicity it became an essential part of his process in the 80's and 90's. As a result the artist amassed a trove of over 1,200 Polaroids that depict lovers, friends, and anonymous models in a various poses that serve as a starting point for his paintings. In this grid of Polaroids, "Alex" is a young man posing nude on top of a tarp. The exceptional warmth and rich hues infuse this series of 12 Polaroids with a sensual and painterly quality, a characteristic that is undoubtably present throughout the artist's oeuvre. From 2009-2012 a large touring exhibition devoted to Lukacs' Polaroids was shown at several museums across Canada including Museum London and the Art Gallery of Alberta.

- Joey with Her New Breasts (NYC)By Nan GoldinLocated in Toronto, OntarioNan Goldin (b. 1953) is one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. Beginning in the 1970's Goldin took candid shots of her lovers and friends - especially drag queens and trans women, characters often living on the margins of society, in New York City and beyond. "Cody in the Dressing Room at the Boy Bar, NYC” is a paradigm of Goldin's work from the early 1990’s celebrating both nightlife and its beautiful denizens. The photograph shows Cody, semi-nude and confidently posing for Goldin, as they either unwind after or are preparing for a performance. Situated in a dressing room signalled by the mirror, makeup and clothes strewn around. Behind Cody is a silver grid of black and white portraits taped to the wall, reminiscent of Warhol’s famous screen tests, and a reminder of Goldin's exceptional composition. Furthermore, the image is cropped right above the subject's waist leaving their actual gender ambiguous if not irrelevant. Today, images of drag queens and glamorous trans woman are increasingly common in Western culture, considering the success of TV shows such as Rupaul's Drag Race...Category
