Appreciated by Marcel Duchamp since late 1950’s when they first met in New York, Takis’ artworks are a mixture of art and science putting energy on top of our minds.
When I first saw the exhibition at Palais de Tokyo two days ago, I had the impression that such materials as iron, aluminium and all sorts of metals are precious, constant transmitters of energy.
In a higher level they are unfinished sources of energy, related directly to Earth.
Transformed into art by the Greek artist and researcher Takis, they keep their eternal energy anyhow.
