Tomo Savić-Gecan constructs artworks that exist between present and future, between one public space and another, and between the minds of a viewer, wherever they might be, and the institutional space of the exhibition, which might happen to be somewhere else.
For the Satellite Program, he will present a major new project in two parts, one located in the Jeu de Paume, the other—it’s exact mirror image—in another institutional space, the Kunsthall in Bergen (Norway). Each part will be an exact reconstruction of an existing space in the Jeu de Paume, but with a crucially changed detail: in each room, one of the walls will be devised so that it can slowly move at an infinitesimally small rate in relation to each visitor that enters the opposite room on the other side of Paris. Each slowly shrinking room will effectively be a reflection of the other, with the motion in one space being set off by the visitors to the other after a short delay.
Linking two institutions and two publics (some perhaps totally unaware that their entry to a room has consequences elsewhere), Savić-Gecan’s architectural intervention continues the artist’s preoccupation with envisioning artworks that create an aesthetic experience across distinct times and spaces.
