  "CELESTIAL MATTERS" AT CHARLES BANK GALLERY IN NEW YORK CITY



Charles Bank Gallery is proud to host the Challenger Center's Celestial Matters - A terrestial exhibition of artwork created or exhibited on the International Space Station.
   
  6 Photographs from the "ROCKET SCIENCE" series are included in the exhibition "LIFT OFF: Earthlings and the Great Beyond"




Exhibition will be on display in the Main Gallery from September 1, 2011 – January 5, 2012

The 100 page exhibition catalog contains essays by Buzz Aldrin, Leslie Kean and Peter Nowak.

As the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (or NASA, best known as the agency that first put a man on the moon) puts an end to its moon program, the Paul Robeson Galleries presents an exhibition based on ideas and issues surrounding space: perceptions of future life based in space; space agencies (i.e. NASA); the Russian space agency; race for space; NASA byproducts; objects in space; ways of viewing space from earth; the possibility of other life forms in space; space travel, the depiction of space in popular culture, design for space, and the life of an astronaut.


   
 



The book "ROCKET SCIENCE"  is now in the permanent collection of the Indie Photobook Library and will be on view at the 2011 New York Photo Festival.

La guerre froide aura marqué les esprits, et aussi les jardins d’enfants du début des années 80, avec une véritable prolifération de fusées de toutes sortes. La photographe Lauren Orchowski a rassemblé 23 photos de tels vestiges trouvés en différents endroits des États-Unis sur une période de trois ans. La guerre froide est maintenant de l’histoire ancienne, mais les fusées ont conservé leur pouvoir d’attraction sur les petits et les grands, qui savent bien que ces engins sont synonymes de conquête spatiale, et donc de nouvelles aventures humaines.
   
 



 ...The hardest influence to articulate is between a mentor, Sylvia Roth, and Lauren Orchowski. Ms. Roth's paintings, which are a cross between Georgia O'Keeffe and Odilin Redon, somehow brought out Ms. Orchowski's concern for how the engineered or constructed world that surrounds us is organized for human consumption...
