Title:
E5.4 Contemporary Arts Practice and Outer Space: A Multi-Disciplinary 
Approach.

Description:
Since the late 1970s, a number of artists have been negotiating access 
to space facilities and organisations, critiquing or making experiential 
the exploration and utilisation of space, or re-purposing space 
technology, materials or data independently or in direct exchange with 
the space sector.

Today, this practice is branching into a several directions, ranging 
from performance, installation, video, or conceptual work situated in 
the 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; representatives 
from space industry, space agencies and the cultural sector facilitating 
or programming related projects crossing over the increasingly blurred 
boundaries of creative practice.

Chairs: Richard Clar
