“The three reasons why people go to the moon – or follow religion for that same reason – are spirituality, sensuality, and stuff.” —Tom Sachs
Human beings have looked to space for artistic and spiritual inspiration for far longer than for anything resembling scientific inquiry. We’re guessing. What we do know for certain is that we here at Daily Plinth love art and space! Brought to you as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, in this video from the Louisiana Channel we hear from Laurie Anderson, Alicja Kwade, Trevor Paglen, Rachel Rose, Tom Sachs, and Hiroshi Sugimoto on what draws them to explore the cosmos in their art.
