Drawing on the visual possibilities of electromagnetic energy,
radio waves, and natural phenomena, French conceptual artist
Laurent Grasso explores their effect on perception via immersive
videos, sculptures, paintings, and drawings that employ images or
techniques borrowed from cinema or art history. This book explores
the artist's manipulations of what we perceive to be time's
consistency, showcasing complex artworks that merge a range of
interests, including scientific speculations and fictions; natural
catastrophes; and representations of power and authority. Vibrant
photographs display his unique pieces, while astute observations
from some of the world's foremost art critics offer insight into
Grasso's approach. This thought-provoking volume arrives before
Grasso's new traveling exhibition, first at Sean Kelly Gallery in
New York and then at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris for a special
project related to an exhibition about Darwin.
