The Center of the Universe

Outer space is something that humans have only scratched the surface of. Some see it as an abyss of emptiness while others see the endless possibilities it has to offer. The exhibit is a completely open room and is not meant to guide the viewer. They should be able to start and finish wherever. The ceiling is starry and hopefully sets the celestial mood.

The art from left to right:

Hanging on the wall furthest to the left is a piece called “Wishful Thinking” by Lousia Glagliardi; the piece features a woman holding a planet-like orb in her hand. The red and green complement each other making the piece stand out. The piece originated as a sketch but was then edited digitally. The artist is trained in graphic design and that shows through this piece. 

Second to left is H.R. Giger’s “Li” Though this piece doesn't feature any color, the subject of the illustration gives the viewer plenty to absorb. The piece is from 1974, making it 50 years old, nonetheless, the piece holds up to this day. The piece gives an out-of-this-world feeling that feels extraterrestrial. 

The artwork in the middle is titled “Miss Universe” by Jim Shaw. The 2017 painting features a woman with a universe where her face should be. The piece is more outward about its connection with space but gives a more human approach.

The second from the right is a sculpture that is a partition called “The Rings of Saturn” by several different artists: Anastasia Bay, Antonia Brown, Santiago Evans Canales, Alma Feldhandler, Alex Foxton, Shuo Hao, Vojtech Kovarik, Tal Regev. Though a partition is typically used to divide a space, this curation needed more open room. The bold designs and colors offer a different vibe than some other works in the curation.

The last artwork is “Yorick in Space” by Mamie Tinkler. The piece offers interesting textures and perspective. The imagination of the piece helps immerse the viewer in the exhibit.

Overall, the curation's goal was to present the artist's idea of space and give the viewer a glance at what could or couldn't be out there.
