Press Release

This presentation brings together the works of Vassilakis Takis and Otto Piene, two influential artists whose explorations of invisible forces such as light and magnetism invite deep reflection on energy, space, and perception. Piene’s White Cube (1990) and Takis’s Boule Électromagnétique (1962–1968) and Magnetic Wall (2000) stand as key examples of their unique approaches, where the boundary between the visible and the unseen is delicately navigated. Both artists challenge the viewer to engage with these forces in new and profound ways, reshaping our understanding of the world around us.
