The
subject of the weather has long shaped the content of everyday
conversation. The eighteenth-century writer Samuel Johnson
famously remarked ‘It is commonly observed, that when
two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather; they
are in haste to tell each other, what each must already know,
that it is hot or cold, bright or cloudy, windy or calm.’

Series of commissions for the Turbine Hall, Olafur Eliasson
takes this ubiquitous subject as the basis for exploring ideas
about experience, mediation and representation.
