Gallery A
A MANIFEST FOR THE MOON
The Lunar Codex uses digital and analog technology to preserve art, books, music, and more, enclosed in time capsules and launched to the Moon. It is a message-in-a-bottle to the future.
​
Curatorial Notes
​
Gallery A showcases a selection of works from the Peregrine, Νουα, and Polaris collections, covering only a small fraction of the total works archived by the Lunar Codex.
​
Highlights of this gallery include works from The Windrift Collection, whose collected works are thematically linked by figurative realism with a strong sense of narrative.
These narrative-charged works include not only works on canvas and paper, but include sculptures, constructions, installations, assemblages, and more.
