Event description

In 1989 Gerard Grisej finished ‘Le Temps et l’Ecume’, a work inspired by Wheeler’s concept. He thought that the spacetime fluctuates as a quantum foam – agitations and vortexes noticeable only in Planck’s scale, however this hypothesis was never proven right. The ‘Time and foam’ exhibition doesn’t try to get closer to the forces ruling spacetime. Similar to Grisey’s gesture it builds metaphors which create constellations illuminating questions in the face of elusiveness, relativity and inconsistency of time in which we are immersed.
