Tomas
Saraceno is an artist and architect who believes in feasible utopias. He devises
inflatable, modulated and mobile works/architectures, in -or with- which one can
experience unusual sensations. His concepts are mostly experimental ones. They
evoke, in the imagination of each, utopian visions of transport, housing or structures
related to other activities. The objects he presents represent only the first
step of his visions : they should be developed within a framework much more equipped
than what artistic institutions can offer. This need is likely to be fulfilled
soon, as Tomas Saraceno was recently invited by the European Space Agency to discuss
possible interactions between artists and the International space station.
