"Not only the phenomenological or optical perception of space plays a part, but the mental and physical sensation of it just as much. The artists play a deliberate game with the parameters of perception through a strong interest in optical phenomena and different modes of consciousness. Especially in an age when the 'classical' relationship between man and his direct physical environment is subject to strong changes, because of the increasing presence of virtual reality, cyberspace, and an overdose of media experiences, it is not surprising that artists have a renewed interest in the way space is experienced.
Perceptions of Space shows a number of installations in which the relationship between the viewer and the space surrounding him plays a central part. For this, the artists make use of highly varied 'materials' such as light, sound and movement."
