Summary
This catalogue takes a look at the theme of space exploration. Encompassing the concept of infinite potential, as well as historical outer-space successes and failures, it features installations, paintings, works on paper, and sound and video works made by Laurie Anderson, Nina Katchadourian, Oleg Kulik, Julian LaVerdiere, Aleksandra Mir and Damian Ortega, among others, and investigates global attitudes from the time the Soviets launched Sputnik to the explosions of the American space shuttles in 1986 and 2003. While the featured artworks are united by the theme of outer space, they also invite consideration of the technological, environmental and sociopolitical forces affecting life on Earth today.
