The Danish-Icelandic artist’s climate-centric exhibition takes over Tate Modern until January 5th 2020.

If you come to expect anything from Olafur Eliasson’s installations, is to walk in and immerse in the art, your own senses, people around you and the world beyond. Once again, Tate Modern puts on Eliasson’s solo show, exploring the artist’s deep engagement with society and environment. Titled IRL, the exhibition showcases the artist’s perspective on issues of climate change, energy, migration, and more. In addition, the artist’s team will create a special menu and programme of related events for Tate Modern’s Terrace Bar. Expect organic, vegetarian and locally-sourced food, to help deepen the effect of the show and discover something new.
