Lunar Announcement!
In these uncertain times we are drawn to art to helps us balance out the challenges of so many unknowns. Well, this has taken an unexpected turn for me, by finding out my artwork is going into space! This incredible project encapsulates our hopes and actions in creating art and is sending them to the moon. Literally.
You may have seen my episode of the TV series Colour In Your Life. The whole TV series has been chosen to send to the moon. When I look at the moon I will know there is a documentary about me up there. How many people can say that?
“The Lunar Codex -- www.lunarcodex.com- is a project to preserve contemporary creative arts for future generations, a message-in-a-bottle to the future,”
Nasa and SpaceX are creating ‘the museum on the moon’ - I’ll even be able to point to the part of the Lunar south pole where the capsule sits. Elon Musk has agreed to finance our inclusion in the project. Payload coordinator and curator Dr. Samuel Peralta (Physicist) said:
“Our hope is that future travellers who find these time capsules will discover some of the richness of our world today,” …“The Lunar Codex speaks to the idea that, despite wars and pandemics and climate upheaval, humankind found time to dream, time to create art.”
It is strange to even write about this. I remember the first moon landing (we have a photo of me pointing at the TV in 1969) and the lunar module from the cornflakes packet that sat on our bookshelf for years. We were very lucky to have American Friends who worked at NASA and Dr Sneider sent us moon photos when he got back to the US. Who would have thought I’d be up there one day. Ha
I’ll keep you posted of exhibition opportunities as we get closer to the date.
Getting Back on Track
If you have been struggling to get back on track in these challenging times my new course online self paced Brain Reset for Uncertain Times has taken off. I am loving the feedback.
“Celia, I just want to say how good your brain re-set course is!!! I really like the way you explain things, so much of what is happening around me makes sense now. I’m going to stop and just let this all sink in. Thankyou again!! Kate
