The Moon Gallery Foundation would like to announce our upcoming Moon Mission, scheduled for launch at the end of 2025.
For all of human history, we have looked up from the Earth at the Moon. All the time, the Moon has looked back up at us. We travel to the Moon in order to better understand it, but we should also ask…
How does the Moon see the Earth?
We have gathered responses to this question from artists, writers, and other creatives from around the globe, and bound these in a miniature artists’ book, which will land on the Moon’s south pole region.
Moon Bound
Moon Bound is a 1 cm³ volume, which collects text and image submissions from 49 contributors from around the world, along with statements and manifestos that locate this project in the context of the Moon Gallery’s ambitions for better representation of the arts in space.
The Moon Bound project
Through the launch of Moon Bound, we seek to promote discussion of larger questions about the relationship between the arts and space sectors, the value of artists’ engagements with space exploration, the status of intellectual property on the Moon, and many other topics informed by the works contained within the book. Beyond the Moon Bound book itself, this endeavor will involve events, debates, interviews, and further texts, by our organisers and contributors, and larger networks. At a later date we will be inviting contributors to participate in these other activities and to contribute contextualizing statements and reflections about their work.
