A Space Program
“A disarmingly delightful out-of-this-world trip.” (Seattle Times)
For his immersive Space Program: Mars installation at the Park Avenue Armory in 2012, sculptor Tom Sachs employed a mastery of engineering and sheer ingenuity to turn plywood, FedEx packaging, and other low-tech materials into the stuff of a rip-roaring voyage to the Red Planet. Never has suspension of disbelief been this much fun, as we watch two female astronauts board a fully-realized spaceship and launch into the cosmos for their first steps on Mars to the cheers of NASA engineers back at mission control.
