Extra Academy is a spontaneous alliance of Extra City, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and Sint-Lucas Antwerpen.

The guest speaker of 7 February is Tomo Savic-Gecan.

The aspects which characterise the works of Tomo Savic-Gecan are emptiness, whiteness, and absence. The artist often introduces into the physical exhibition space and into the orientation of the viewer's gaze a certain incompatible element, a minimal shift, which is almost invisible, but which alters the normal, established spatial and perceptual relations. It often seems that one can understand his works as meaningful wholes only on a secondary level, i.e. through description, while an actual observer easily misses the work or experiences it as an uncanny, uncertain, sometimes frustrating situation.
