Fluxface in Space arrives at the Kennedy Space Center.
Please note: Fluxmuseum Director, Cecil Touchon, compiled a portfolio containing printed images of all the entries. For safety and security purposes (damage or loss) this folio was sent to the KSC event instead of the original artworks.

Thanks to Everyone
I would like to thank Gary and Angela and all of the wonderful artists who have contributed to this historic exhibition. I am not sure any other museum can claim to have had the first contemporary, international group art exhibition in space. If anyone knows of such I would like to hear about it. Otherwise, congratulations to everyone for our wonderful success. I see that there are many fine works and what an inspiring display of global participation with artists from 26 countries! It is also a pleasure to see photos of all of the artists.
The shuttle missions will take off, I believe once this fall and the other early next year. So we will have to see what we can do to stir up some interest in our project as the launches approach. We shall like to have the exhibit travel around the surface of the world as well as in orbit and be seen by many. If you think you can arrange an exhibition in your city please drop a line to discuss the idea and place your city on the itinerary. The exhibitions will have to be arranged much like the Book About Death, in established art centers, museums or other art gallery environments. The exhibits could be as short as a week or even weekend so that we can arrange as many as possible in the coming months. If you have a science museum in your area perhaps they may have an interest in such an exhibit.
If you have a website or other online blog, network site page etc. please post an image of Angela's lovely rocket postcard and a link to this blog to help draw more audience to the exhibition.
Again thank you for making this a great exhibition.

Question: Question? I don’t even know how to ask the question. If everything in our human consciousness occupies physical space in time and has a beginning and an ending, how is it possible that the Universe has always been? If not, what was there before? If it’s expanding... expanding into what? These questions have haunted physicists, astronomers, philosophers, and spawned many a religion since the beginning of recorded history.
To me art is a personal exploration of the misunderstood. Space exploration, is a collective expansion of our understanding of the incomprehensible. This collective knowledge is built one upon the other much like the development of art. Thanks to the Shuttle Program and the Hubble Telescope we’ve taken yet another step toward understanding these riddles of the universe.
May there be many more events to come:
SPACE EVENT
• liftoff
• weightlessness
• landing

I have been making an ongoing series of space themed work called Constructing Space, since 2004.
I make my art by combining two obscure techniques that are primarily photographic but utilise on painting and drawing practices as well, the resulting works are classed as Cliché Verre Photograms.
The art is made using meteorites. This cosmic material is placed in contact with light sensitive paper in a colour darkroom before colour exposures are made through glass plates onto which I have drawn and painted planets, moons or other celestial objects.
In the exposure process, various timed exposures of filtered coloured light change the colour of the paper. If exposed for long enough, the paper turns black. The areas where the stardust blocks the light remains white, thus the meteorites and stardust created the stars in my pictures.
Some of the work in the series “Constructing Space” was created using interstellar dust, meteorites and other cosmic material at the Natural History Museum in London, where I have been allowed on occasion to set up a darkroom in the basement of the museum, and am given access to the British National Meteorite Collection to work with.
I am based in Cornwall, UK, where I work full time at Green Island Studios, my studio and darkroom facility.
