Fly Me to the Moon: Cat. Kunsthaus Zurich

By Walter Famler, Liam Gillick, D. Denenge Duyst-Akpem, et al.

Kunsthaus Z rich presents a large exhibition curated by Cath rine Hug commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing in 1969. The Moon landing of the US-American Apollo 11 space capsule altered our relation-ship to space and our environment. The view of Earth from space gave rise to a new awareness of the fragility of our planet and the threats posed by human's existential inter­ventions. This discourse, though more topical than ever, is not the only thematic focus; on the contrary, the exhibition and the richly illustrated catalogue seek to address this enduring mystery that continues to fascinate all cultures of the world, from the 19th century to the present. The journey through the ­history of artistic exploration of the Moon in­cludes topics such as Celestial cartography and lunar ­topography«, Ailments associated with the Moon«, Moon light and ­shadows«, the Colonization of the Moon« and Rockets and Moon vehicles« Artists: Darren Almond, Kader Attia, John Baldessari, Rosa Barba, Frances Bodormo, Ren Burri, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Robert Delaunay, Vladimir Dubossarsky & Alexander Vinogradov, Max Ernst, Sylvie Fleury, Johann Heinrich F ssli, Liam Gillick, Kiki Kogelnik, Katie Paterson, Niki de Saint Phalle, Robert Rauschenberg, Yinka Shonibare, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky et al.
