Descripción de la Exposición

The Green Lantern Press presents Inner Telescope, a solo exhibition at Sector 2337 by Eduardo Kac (pronounced “Katz”) of an artwork created for the conditions of Outer Space. Central to this show is an abstract form of the same name—an Inner Telescope conceived for zero gravity, having neither top nor bottom, neither front nor back, and which was realized aboard the International Space Station by French astronaut Thomas Pesquet in 2017. The form entwines linguistic and figurative representations of the self, separate from the ground they have always relied on. Additional objects in the show further explore the vulnerability and ambition of the human subject without its usual downward tendency. Inner Telescope releases the human from gravity’s constraint to show the inextricable ties between humans and their world. Inner Telescope was produced by L’Observatoire de l’Espace, the cultural lab of the French Space Agency, with support from the European Space Agency and the Carasso Foundation.
