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," http://tinyurl.com/2mky3u and http://www.artnet.de/magazine/news/gohlke/gohlke08-23-07.asp. Note: he is not just another installation jockey. Eliasson has good ideas and he is a genuinely interesting artist.
