He s currently involved in designing a one-man exhibition of his own work, which is scheduled for presentation at Interieur 2000 in Kortrijk next autumn. The spacious area reserved for this display, at the centre of the exhibition halls, is big enough to accommodate an imposing architectonic project. He s noticeably wary about the design of an exhibition devoted to his personal oeuvre. It s not easy for me to talk about myself. Even in Kortrijk, where I can use concrete objects instead of words, I risk giving people the wrong impression, he says.
Objectivity requires a certain amount of distance.
He pauses for a second. I m concerned about finding the correct perspective. It s important for me to stay on the right track while also emphasising my personal interpretation of the subject. Grcic admits that at times he s guilty of being more interested in the message than in the object itself. I occasionally go too far when it comes to abstract ideas, he says.
