Lust for Space Dust
Another paper is on the horizon for my contemporary art class. I went to Barnes & Noble to buy the latest Artforum and Art In America, but I keep going back to my previous paper topic: space exploration in contemporary art. I spent the weekend gathering information and inspiration for a topic. (Perhaps I will settle with Tom Sachs’ Space Program.) These images keep running through my head.
