Michael Najjar: Outer Space
Opening: Thursday, 31 March, 6 - 8 pm
The artist will be present.
Benrubi Gallery is pleased to announce German photo and video artist Michael Najjar's solo exhibition, „outer space“ – the artist’s first show with the gallery and the first major showing of this series in New York City.
The “outer space" work series deals with the latest developments in space exploration and the way they will shape our future life on Earth, in Earth’s near orbit and on other planets. By leaving our home and flying to the moon or other planets, we change our understanding of two of the most fundamental questions confronting humankind – who we are and where we come from. The attempt to penetrate the far reaches of space bears witness to our innate sense of curiosity and our unquenchable desire to push back frontiers and go beyond them. Yet the point is not merely to leave the Earth behind us, but to reflect on what our own spaceship earth means to us and will mean to the generations who come after us.
