Space: (…!)

Who among us can claim that they have no interest in space? The infinite medium of space holds infinite possibilities, including our greatest hopes and our greatest fears. The imagery of how we on earth have envisioned space has changed dramatically over time: resulting from technological innovations to depictions in art, film and literature, visions of the future can take on nostalgic associations with the era in which they were created. We can easily see how our current way of thinking about space will rapidly become anachronistic.

The Intermediate and Advanced Drawing students of Bloomsburg University confined themselves to the finite space of the Samek Art Gallery to bravely explore the furthest reaches of their imaginations, responding to each others work to create a unified vision of space as we see it now. Planets, aliens, mystery, zombies(?), humans integrating with technology, and imagery inspired by Hubble and the Mars Rovers, as well as actual human missions into space abound.
