Yesterday I read the following article in the newspaper and got me thinking, if one of the most famous artists in the world says such things. can our city be so stupid?




The danish artist olafur eliasson goes heavy against his adopted city berlin.

„ I believe the city could have profit much more from the creativity assembled over here“, said the 40 year old to the Spiegel. The museums didnt try even once to contact some of berlin´s resident artists, who are exhibiting their work worldwide, just not in berlin itself."

Eliasson, to whom MoMa dedicated a huge exhibition starting from sunday, has adopted, according to information, two african children with his wife.
He runs an atelier in berlin with around 30 employees, but leads his family life in Copenhagen. in the german capital, he said „ there is a distinct phobia towards dark-skinned people“. He wants to protect his children from that.
