The Nature Of with Willow Defebaugh · Artist Olafur Eliasson on Seeing What We’ve Been Blind To · 14 Apr 2026 podcast

Well, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, should it?

As long as you put on the facade again afterwards.

And in that way, we transformed.

I really spent a lot of time on looking at the museum as a structure.

The weather project rift a little bit off the fact that everybody in London is like, you know, it's very cold today.

Yeah, it's going to snow tomorrow.

The weather is the shared nature in a city.

You don't have any nature left, but the weather is what we have in common.

This is our collective space.

So the Weather Project somehow offered some kind of experience that was referred to as a natural experience.

So there was this sense of, oh, we have to go and see that and that of collectivity, community.

I can lay down and do something completely crazy.

Somebody brought the canoe and they were sailing around on the floor at the Tate.

Some people came in a group and did yoga.

Some people spelled out things in the word like Bushko home because he was visiting London.

So there was all these different sort of activities that it opened up for.

The museum had to start play, you know, they had to sort of embrace the fact that people were disbehaving according to the normative, how you behave when you're in a museum, you don't lay on the floor.

So the fire marshal had to go around and say, you cannot lay on the floor.

Imagine if the building burns and then everybody's running and then you're laying on the floor.

They're going to fall.
