S2 EP 30 — Olafur Eliasson
In the early 21st century, Olafur Eliasson helped define a new era of public art with works that took on nature for scale. Tim Abrahams met him at the new Oxford North development and asked him what he makes of his metier as a public artist in a new era when who the public might be is less clear and the idea of nature is unstable.
