Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson brings the final leg of his landmark traveling exhibition, Your curious journey, to the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design of the De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde in Manila. The exhibition concludes an extensive international tour that included presentations at the Singapore Art Museum, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, and Museum MACAN in Jakarta.

Spanning three decades of Eliasson’s artistic practice, Your curious journey examines perception, embodiment, sustainability, and the climate emergency. Following its Manila presentation, the exhibition will return to the artist’s studio in Berlin, bringing a multi-year regional dialogue to a close. Among the featured works is Beauty (1993), in which a spotlight and fine mist of water create an ever-shifting, shimmering rainbow. Also on display is Moss wall (1994), a vast vertical installation composed of reindeer moss. In Yellow corridor (1997), visitors enter an immersive passage illuminated by monofrequency light, which alters the perception of color and challenges the senses. Meanwhile, The glacier melt series 1999/2019 presents 30 C-prints documenting the visible effects of environmental change over two decades.

Ahead of the exhibition’s opening, Eliasson delivered a public lecture exploring how art can inspire personal and collective transformation on 9 July.

Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey is on view until 15 November. The exhibition is supported by the Embassy of Denmark in the Philippines, Mercedes Zobel and Goethe-Institut Philippinen. Those who wish to attend the opening night may register through bit.ly/YCJ-ExhibitionOpening.
