From a small team in 1995, when Eliasson first moved to Berlin, Studio Olafur Eliasson has slowly grown to its current structure in response to the possibility of generating a wide range of projects. The studio now consists of a team of about 70 people, from craftsmen and specialised technicians, to architects, artists, archivists and art historians, cooks, and administrators. They work with Eliasson to experiment, develop, produce, and install artworks, projects, and exhibitions, as well as archiving, communicating, and contextualising his work. Additional to the artworks realised in-house, Eliasson and his studio contract structural engineers and other specialists, and collaborate with curators, cultural practitioners, and scientists. Located in the same building as the studio, the Institut für Raumexperimente (Institute for Spatial Experiments), founded by Olafur Eliasson in 2009, investigates new approaches to arts education on a university level. The research project is affiliated with the visual arts department of the Berlin University of the Arts and runs for five years until spring 2014.
