When I first saw the Weather Project at the London Tate back in 2003, I was immediately struck by the all encompassing architectural nature of Olafur Eliasson’s work.  The 2007 retrospective of his work, shown at the SFMOMA, included further explorations by Eliasson: a dark padded corridor; a mist chamber with a rainbow; an assortment of mathematically derived sculptural forms. The main gateway to this exhibit, a site specific piece of dazzling color, was equally memorable, albeit at a significantly smaller scale than the luminous sun that greeted visitors in the aforementioned Weather Project piece.
