FIRST OFF-PLANET ART GALLERY SETS OFF FOR THE ISS, Pre-launch by EuroMoonMars and Space Renaissance

The Moon Gallery will meet the final frontier of human habitation, as it travels to the International Space Station for its 10-month-long mission.
The Moon Gallery is an international, collaborative art installation housing the seeds of a future, shared interplanetary culture. In collaboration with Nanoracks , powered by Voyager Space , the test payload of 64 artifacts, each no bigger than one cubic centimeter, is targeting launch aboard the NG-17 Cygnus resupply mission on February 19, 2022. The gallery is represented by artists from Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa. The Moon Gallery is installed inside a Nanoracks Nanolab, serving as moving targets for camera observations and performance tests. The gallery offers a diverse range of materials and behaviours for the camera to detect, and in return, the artists will get a chance to learn about the performance of their artworks in microgravity. The Moon Gallery Foundation is a nonprofit cultural organization based in the Netherlands and founded in 2020 by Anna Sitnikova, Elizaveta Glukhova, Bernard Foing, and Charlotte ten Holder. The foundation provides a platform for interdisciplinary and international cooperation and knowledge exchange between the creative/artistic sector and the space/technology sector.
Bernard Foing (founder of the Moon Gallery Foundation and of EuroMoonMars, President of Space Renaissance International) will be live from New York City, with Henk Rogers, Mary Kuiper, Manny Perez (President of Space Renaissance USA, Inc.) and other members of Space Renaissance. Several Moon Gallery artists will connect and talk from remote, worldwide.
