Agnieszka Polska Work from Birds in Space. “For a bird to fly in outer space, it would have to hold its breath. It would have to fight Earth’s gravity. It would have to endure a temperature of -270°C. It would have to bathe in radiation, unprotected by Earth’s magnetic field. It would have to live […]

Greg Allen Work from Exhibition Space. “In August 1960, the fledgling NASA launched Echo I, a mirrored spherical balloon, or “satelloon,” 100 feet across, which was inflated 1,000 miles above the earth. Nominally a reflective communications satellite, Echo I’s primary mission was to be visible to the naked eye by the earth’s entire population. Early […]

Trevor Paglen Work from Nonfunctional Satellites. Developed in collaboration with aerospace engineers, the nonfunctional satellites are space-worthy sculptures designed as small, lightweight satellites that expand to become large, highly reflective structures. Placing one of these objects into low-earth orbit would create a visible “sculpture” in the night sky, visible from the earth below after sunset […]

Katja Novitskova Work from Spirit, Curiosity, Opportunity. “The objects found in this fossilised collection look like cubes, polygons, slots, arrows, round holes, bones, feathers and even artistic impressions.
