Against Outer Space engages an ancient paradox: Earthly life unfolds against and within unearthly space. Artists in the exhibition present this paradox both with and against dominant technoscientific ideas about outer space. In doing so they work otherwise to government agendas, military-industrial powers and space capitalism. For these artists, outer space is not separate. It is an intimate extension of ancestry and becoming. Its vibrant outsideness allows new questions, new recognitions, new ways of being. Through their work we enter open space.

Opening reception and admission are open and free to the public.
