I am incredibly flattered to be one of the people interviewed in this book. The author, artist Aleksandra Mir, contacted me some time ago and invited me to her studio where some of her incredible Sharpie murals were in various stages of completion. We had a brilliant conversation (the transcription of which is included in the book) and then I was photographed, sat on one of her beautiful murals… I couldn’t believe I was walking and sitting on a piece of art!
The book is available for sale through the publisher MIT Press ($18.95/ £13.99), and from other agents such as Amazon.
I enjoyed reading this review of the book by Régine Debatty on her website We Make Money Not Art.
The book is part of Aleksandra Mir’s larger project Space Tapestry, currently on exhibition in various locations.
There are three main events (chapters) to Space Tapestry:
Space Tapestry: Earth Observation & Human Spaceflight, Modern Art Oxford, 2017
24 June – 12 November 2017. Aleksandra Mir at the Modern Art Oxford
Space Tapestry: Faraway Missions, Tate Liverpool, 2017
23 June to 15 October 2017 Aleksandra Mir at the Tate Liverpool
Drawing Biennial 2017, Drawing Room, London, 2017
[…] Aleksandra Mir is a brilliant artist, whose exhibition “Space Tapestry” I have blogged about before. It was a huge privilege getting to know her, and to be one of the subjects of her book We Can’t Stop Thinking About The Future. […]
