Being invited to contribute a piece of art that will go to space is not an everyday occurrence. The idea of multiple artists' creative output in space brought a beautiful vision: I imagine all that art, high above us, emitting peaceful, constructive energy to the world below. The energy of artists--the energy to imagine, build, fail, and rebuild. Artists must be willing to dig deep, explore raw dangerous places, and fail repeatedly. Just like space explorers. Both artist and astronaut share a willingness to learn, to go where others haven't, to explore. For this we need heart, faith and courage. I imagine little bits of love, faith, and courage sprinkling the world, inspiring us all to creative, gentle and generous lives. Lucinda Atwood What a special opportunity to send art into space! When I think about how something I created went somewhere that I will probably never ever go is surreal and yet completely amazingly optimistic to dream of the possibilities that we have available to us today. Being able to say, my art went into space is something that I will be able to tell children and grandchildren and who knows what they will be doing in the future! Thank you for this great pioneering experience. One of the paintings that went up was, Be Love. I hope that message was felt throughout the cosmos. Kelly Murphy rumble satellite, paintings in space. When I heard of this project I thought it was a Cool Idea. I wanted to send something into space, who wouldn't? I was worried though I usually miss things like this. Either I hear about it to late or my ""real job"" gets in the way. I had the water colours in my wallet just in case I made it to rumble house in time. I was very surprised to make, I think, the last rumble before things had to go in. Being me I felt I missed it. So when you messaged and wanted my feeling on having work that went to space I did a happy dance. Thank you for the cool project. Dawn Escobar (do not have her art) the maine coon studio cat on light paws drifts in on a cloud of weightless wispy fur effortlessly elevating from ground to shelf sits, staring expectantly, sniffs the paint water. ""you doofus,"" I tell her, ""you don't even know I have sent you to space."" slowly she closes her eyes, pleased with herself. One Fox Faraday RAINBOW RUMBLE LEO CAT hello, thank you rumble house gorillas for making this happen. imagine! this piece represents a miniature of my pallate and process to large format painting. this piece makes available for study the effects of low earth orbit on Benjamin Moore Ben semi gloss paint on canvas. Harold Pendergast Painter: Imperfection is my definition of perfect. I strive to convey a sense of authenticity by capturing people in their truest moments. May that be in the best or worst of times. The pieces I presented in this exhibit have a deeply morose appearance. It represents the disconnect between my art and I as it leaves for many months into space and the following travelling exhibit. The sadistic, imbalanced features show one of the many realities of the human condition: the fear of loss. Kaitlyn Popoff Woven in between the gala triumphs and base nuisances on earth there is a fundamental need to feel connected. Feeling snipped off by misunderstandings or politics is an illusion that is soothed by the ultimate truth - that we exist in an endless dusty bubble of space and time. We design art and theatre to remind us of such truths. Sending symbols of this via art into the space environment reminds us that we are not, no never, severed from one another. We, all humanity, are forever tethered together in the universe. Gravity snaps us back like elastic to earth, but we nevertheless design to push forth, aloft as one. It feels inevitable. It feels right. Renate Pohl It was a unique project to work on 2 almost identical miniatures formats. One went to space to be exposed to totally different environmental conditions and the second one stayed behind here. The returned art work from space will be exhibited along with the one which remained here. It will be an exciting moment for artists as well as general public to view to see if there will be any significant signs of change in the art works being in the atmosphere. It was special for me to participate in such a unique ""scientific"" project in space and I am eagerly looking forward to attend the opening. It was an honor to be asked to be a part of it. I am happy I did it. Seka Owen RCA Teresa is a registered nurse who always loved to draw. When she started attending live art events at Gorilla House she was inspired by Jess and Rich and she knew she wanted to bring art back into her life full time and now she draws everyday, honing her skills and being joyful about the process. (she also not-so-secretly always wanted to be an astronaut so the opportunity to send art into space was a piece of a dream come true!) Teresa Lyon I remain optimistic that one day we will encounter alien beings with whom we can communicate, or that they will encounter us. Possible topics for communication: Joy, perception and discovery What it feels like to fly How big everything is, and how small We might learn a lot from those aliens. We might find we are not so different from one another. Definitely let us not descend into base negotiations of ownership Verna Vogel I work with symbols and the stories they tell. My work tells mostly female stories, from a female perspective. I want to keep these stories alive. I love magic. I love being connected through stories. I loved the idea of putting a primitive symbol of Gaia (Mother Earth) into space, opposites that would otherwise never get to meet: old and new, earth and sky. Jess Szabo My dreamcatcher was delivered to the space mission on International Women's Day. These Divine Feminine moonstones are for my late Mother Sylvia Lee Oldpan my late Nokum's Auntie's Sisters, my Daughter and all the Missing and Murdered Women of Canada. We are moving from a Divine Masculine energy into a Divine Feminine energy. Grandmothers' and Grandfathers' dreamcatcher will look over us and bless us with understanding and peace. Aaron Lee When I create a piece of art I try not to think about who will see it; It's a constant effort to ignore how my audience will react. Once the piece is finished it's important to let it go...but to space? An idea so profound it has reshaped my conception of a works existence. Mark Vasquez-McKay
