While the exhibition borrows its title from the American novelist Thomas
Pynchon鈥檚 masterpiece, it further relates to a recent theory in astrophysics
postulating that light would be itself subjected to gravitational properties,
which would have the power to deflect it as they affect mass.
The apparent contradiction conciliating the immaterial and the tangible at
the core of this theory describes a spectrum, which could as well
encompass artworks between transcendence and immanence, or 鈥楪ravity
and Grace鈥 to quote this time the title of a book by the French philosopher
Simone Weil.
