Talked to Olafur Eliasson this morning (*Sept.  5*) at the preview
of his first US retrospective
(http://www.examiner.com/a-915007~Environmental_art_movement.html),
at the SF MoMA, and he lamented the fact that he must leave our 
perfect weather," and rush back to Berlin first thing tomorrow.

The reason: he is the set designer for the *Sept.  6 *Staatsoper
Mussbach-Boder premiere of Henze's "Phaedra." For Eliasson's works,
see http://www.olafureliasson.net/images.html; for "Phaedra,"

Note: he is not just another installation jockey.  Eliasson has good
ideas and he is a genuinely interesting artist.
