The current work «The Matter of Time» installed permanently at the Museum, is the artist's most complete rumination on the physicality of space and the nature of sculpture. Shifting in unexpected ways as viewers walk in and around them, these sculptures create a dizzying, unforgettable sensation of space in motion.
The Luminous Interval The exhibition's title is derived from the writings of the Greek philosopher Nikos Kazantzakis, who envisioned life as a "luminous interval". As a whole, it constitutes an expansive exploration of the coexistence of hope and despair within the human condition, showcasing the generative possibilities of this dialectical tension.
