The exhibition features paintings, videos, sculpture, photographs and installations -- including one made up of giant boobie bean bags -- from 20 Icelandic artists.
Eliasson's work here is made up of a series of photographs, the Green River series, (pictured, above) and a light installation called "Limbo Lamp for Petur," (video, top.)
The Icelandic Love Corporation take part as well, with "Nest," a mixed-media sculpture that includes black-licorice type tubing, a tire and shiny baubles all weaved into a home for a family of birds.
The exhibition, which runs until August 15, is free. It's open Tuesdays through Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m. The Scandinavia House is located at 58 Park Ave., map.
