Introduced by Carol Becker, Dean of Columbia University School of the Arts Renowned Danish-Icelandic visual artist Olafur Eliasson’s large-scale works such as Ice Watch and New York City Waterfalls spark critical dialogue about climate change and our relationship to nature. His work is driven by interests in perception, movement, embodied experience, and feelings of self, engaging the broader public sphere through architectural projects, interventions in civic space, arts education, policy-making, and issues of sustainability. Co-presented by Columbia University School of the Arts and The Forum Check-in will begin one hour prior to start time. Seating is limited and first come, first served. Registration is closed for this event. A standby line will form at 5:30 pm and the event will be livestreamed.
