“When visitors walk through the museum, they should feel that they are, in fact, co-producing the space.” —Olafur Eliasson
“…museums offer us the possibility of sharing an experience…without excluding others who disagree with you. It might actually contribute to the success of the experience that the person next to you doesn’t have the very same experience.” –Olafur Eliasson

“I think the languages of arts and culture can really achieve something here…and these are necessary to inspire positive action in response to the challenges, environmental and otherwise, that we, the citizens of the world, are confronted with today.”
“What seems to be one of the main successes of the Scandinavian model is that it has made people believe that their investment in and commitment to society matters. I think one of the greatest challenges today is indifference…”
—Olafur Eliasson

It was as sociological as it was artistic. Meaning by that that place in the ether where one goes from pure inspiration. xx’s, v.
