Art exhibition in space https://www.artaboveearth.com/
I am super excited to let you know about the wildest project I have done so far. As you might know, I am always thinking about the next exhilarating artwork… the next project that would push the boundaries of creative expression as well as get you interested and excited. If you are like me, then this project will definitely pique your interest because it is happening 100,000 feet (around 30 km) above Earth. I hope you enjoy it so please let me know your thoughts by replying to this email.
This out-of-this-world exhibition was launched in February 2023 and showcased six of my iconic artworks. Three sculptures and three prints, including a golden edition of One Small Step the Breakdancing Astronaut Sculpture, a balloon dog sculpture from my widely celebrated ‘POPek’ collection and Jeff Balloonski Junior – Empowerment. Additionally three new pieces from ‘Gone’ series – a nostalgic series of prints, which depict shadowy figures of iconic childhood characters – are also being exhibited amongst the stars.
The footage from the launch looks absolutely amazing and you can see it at the links below.
To bring the exhibition to life, the sculpture has been rigged to a launch vehicle which contains discreet electronic systems, enabling the vehicle to rotate and giving the impression that the
astronaut is breakdancing in space. With three more astronaut sculptures to come later this year in collaboration with Castle Fine Art, those who wish to interact with the 360-sculpture can use their phones to explore the artwork here.
Inspired to take my artwork to new heights, we launched the first art exhibition into space in collaboration with Castle Fine Art, the UK’s leading group of retail art galleries and space agency, Sent into Space. The interactive exhibition features the launch of a selection of new and acclaimed pieces that celebrate the breadth of the boundary-pushing artist.
The out-of-this-world exhibition was launched in February/March 2023 and showcases a number of pieces from Whatshisname’s iconic portfolio, including balloon dog sculptures from his widely
celebrated ‘POPek’ collection. Newer pieces from his ‘Gone’ collection – a nostalgic series of prints, which depict shadowy figures of iconic childhood characters – are also being exhibited amongst the stars.
