*E5.3 Contemporary Arts Practice and Outer Space: A Multi-Disciplinary
Approach*



Since the late 1970s a number of artists have been negotiating access to
space facilities and organizations, critiquing or making experiential the
exploration and utilization of space, or re-purposing space technology,
materials or data independently or in direct exchange with the space
sector. Today this important practice is branching into several directions,
ranging from performance, installation, video, or conceptual work situated
in space or space analogous environments themselves, to commercial gallery
contexts and the realm of participation and public engagement with science.
This session addresses the practice of contemporary artists who have
developed new ways to appropriate space for their work, the conceptual and
practical foundations of their engagement, and the implications of this
emerging aesthetic paradigm for both the fields of space and art.
Submissions are welcome from artists and art historians, and from space
industry and space agency representatives as well as from the cultural
sector facilitating or programming related projects crossing over the
increasingly blurred boundaries of creative practice.
