Felicity Spear is curating the second of two Sky Lab exhibitions at the Stephen Mclaughlan Gallery, Melbourne.
Planned for November 2011 the second Sky Lab exhibition titled Sky Lab, from where you stand, will show the work of three Australian artists from Melbourne and Brisbane (Daniel Armstrong, Felicity Spear and Vanessa Stanley), Tarja Trygg from Aalto University, School of Art and Design, Helsinki, Finland, and a London based Nepali artist (Govinda Sah), all of whom presented their work at the cross disciplinary Seventh International Conference on the Inspiration of Astronomical Phenomena (INSAPVII), which took place at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution, Bath, UK, in October 2010, and was organized by the University of Wales.
"Increasingly the cultures and technologies associated with sky-situated knowledge are entering the public purview as we look beyond our planet to speculate about our place in the universe. The author and astronomer John Barrow has written, ‘We feel like the Universe’s only child and that has many consequences’. There is potential here to create conversations about both art and science which point to our understandings of the natural world and the role we ‘Earthlings’ play within the cosmos.
