Beyond The Surface: Exploring Above and Below
Space has long intrigued and fascinated humanity. It is a realm without boundaries, where inner and outer worlds collide, and where the unknown connects to the world we live in.
For artists, this sense of vastness invites wonder, imagination, and mystery. We are driven to make visible what lies beyond the obvious, whether through a lens of the personal, the public, the spiritual, or the cosmic.
Seen from space, earth is a small blue dot where boundaries dissolve and climate, terrain, and humanity become part of a shared awe-inspiring whole.

She also plays a key role in the museum’s didactics and publications, including Steve Locke’s first monograph, I Said What I Said, published in partnership with DelMonico Books.
