This installation piece looks very simple, construction and concept wise, but it has a very poetic and calming effect on viewers. The natural phenomenon behind the concept developed by the matierals and the environmental aspect of the piece seem to go very well with each other. \u00a0The piece is currently located at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/eliasson-1.jpg\" width=\"359\" height=\"200\" style=\"VERTICAL-ALIGN: text-bottom\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The following link\u00a0is an interesting podcast from a couple of visitors that saw the piece and give great detail, explanation, and critique of the artwork.\u00a0 Take a listen&#8230;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.podcast-directory.co.uk\/episodes\/%E2%80%9Cround-rainbow%E2%80%9D-by-olafur-eliasson-14473019.html\" title=\"Audio Clip\">http:\/\/www.podcast-directory.co.uk\/episodes\/%E2%80%9Cround-rainbow%E2%80%9D-by-olafur-eliasson-14473019.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.olafureliasson.net\/works\/round_rainbow.html\">http:\/\/www.olafureliasson.net\/works\/round_rainbow.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2008\/olafureliasson\/\">https:\/\/www.moma.org\/interactives\/exhibitions\/2008\/olafureliasson\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topics.nytimes.com\/topics\/reference\/timestopics\/people\/e\/olafur_eliasson\/index.html\">http:\/\/topics.nytimes.com\/topics\/reference\/timestopics\/people\/e\/olafur_eliasson\/index.html<\/a>#<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hirshhorn.si.edu\/info\/press.asp?key=90&amp;subkey=122\">http:\/\/hirshhorn.si.edu\/info\/press.asp?key=90&amp;subkey=122<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":5621,"template":"","artist":[88],"streams":[2],"keywords":[2243,2149,2078,3973,3972],"decade":[5544],"media":[5550],"class_list":["post-710","artwork","type-artwork","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artist-olafur-eliasson","streams-motion-duration-illumination","keywords-environment","keywords-installation","keywords-light","keywords-natural-elements","keywords-rainbows","decade-2000s","media-installation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artwork"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5628,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/710\/revisions\/5628"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=710"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=710"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=710"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=710"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
