Astroids and Voyager for Exit Festival

I’m one of 3 lead artists working with Bellingham Theater Works for the Bellingham Exit Music Festival! Of course it’s happening when I’ll be hunting the eclipse! Real quick, I am transforming the Blue Room into the Moon Emporium (Nancy’s idea). I’d prefer to call it something like interstellar lounge but who cares. I’m having a blast making replicas of astroids and learning a lot more about Earth’s neighborhood. Need to make a list of the astroids to be built.

  1. 1I/2017 U1 ‘Oumuamua or Scout in Hawaiian, this astroid is from another solar system!

  2. Psyche

  3. Eros

  4. Itokawa

  5. Bennu

  6. Asteroid Didymos and its small moonlet Dimorphos

And next week, the Voyager 2.

Also working on a new icosahedron for Surge at MONA. Opens October 14th. This is the project I’m working on with Andy Bunn. Excited how it’s going. It’s a redo, but something new.
