Space is the Place Exhibition

This exhibition, organized by iCI Exhibitions, includes sixteen artists from around the world who are creating art which explores the theme of space exploration.  The above photo is of Lia Halloran with one of her paintings in the show. 

From the catalog:  A skilled astronomer and self-confessed “space junkie”, she makes drawings visualizing the physics of space travel.  Halloran, an accomplished skateboarder, also uses her own stop-action photographs of women skaters as models for paintings investigating the psychology of space flight.

The show is currently at the Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, California.  The current schedule is:
