Installation view of A Space of Endless Potential by Jon Sasaki in collaboration with Gordon Hicks at the BMO Project Room in Toronto.
In a hidden art gallery near the top of Canada's tallest building, this artwork eerily defies gravity | CBC Arts LoadedWatch as artist Jon Sasaki's installation transforms the BMO Project Room into a 'lunar, otherworldly space.
The artist and his collaborator made no attempt to hide the mechanics of the installation. "I was always interested in the illusion and that conflicting awareness of how the illusion was being done," Sasaki says. The artwork shows visitors exactly how its trick is performed. And still, you find yourself falling for it.
BMO Senior Curator Brad van der Zanden explains that the work was installed in early 2023 with the intention to exhibit that year, but the project's technical complexity was such that it wasn't up and running till this past summer. They were able to extend its tenure in the Project Room through August for viewing.
