The conceptual artist Olafur Eliasson is concerned with sense experience. In 2003, for his installation in the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall—“The Weather Project”—he created a burning sun that bathed the space in orange air. In 2016, he brought waterfalls, fog, and mirrors to the Palace of Versailles, and erected a large waterfall in its grand canal. He recently staged a spatial intervention in Florence’s fabled Palazzo Strozzi, where he constructed a labyrinth of color, light, and water. Now, sculpture, photography, and 12 open-air pavilions make up his first solo show in the Gulf region. Think Eliasson in the desert. —Elena Clavarino
