I am interested in space galleries. I also have units abut different space themes, like the life of a star, which includes interactive art, song, stories, and worksheets for teens. I find the process of interpreting science and arts brings the concepts in in meaningful and thought-provoking ways. How big would these space art works be? Can you tell more about this idea of space galleries to be seen from earth?

I Love This! Thank you for sharing! I'll try to email the members of the panel and research to find out more. Arts and Astronomy to bridge and bring the message home!

Somebody once asked me - what the future of art in general and science-art in particular would be like.

And my reply was : They would be like "Installations in space". I did an art work on this very theme too! The International space station was built part by part by the space scientists and techies. Likewise we can create art works in space that can be viewed from Earth. During my student days, we used to live on the outskirts of our city where we had very clear skies. During the nights I used to go to the terrace of our house and watch the sky and wonder about the stars and space. Then I used to observe star like satellites moving across the sky. I maintained a record of all those satellites and once sent it to a science magazine. They were very impressed by my observations of the satellites from our terrace and mentioned it in their magazine. Since then, I have this idea of ' building art forms like series of installations in space that resemble the satellites with various patterns and designs and can be viewed from Earth'. As long as the Earth stays in space, people can watch these art works and wonder about them.If somebody can fund it, I, myself, am prepared to do these art works in space. Anybody interested in space galleries?
