Lunar Module Exhibition By Sheyne Tuffery

A new body of work in response to the 50 year anniversary of the Apollo moon landing and exploring Wellington's reaction to it. Thomas King Observatory artist-in-residence Sheyne Tuffery presents Lunar Module, which seeks to remind people about how incredibly complicated, exhilarating, and dangerous it was to go to the moon and back in 1969.

"I feel the epic story of Apollo, and the preliminary missions of Mercury and Gemini are lost on most people, and current generations are in a vacuum of speculation of what actually happened. I hope this work inspires people to find out more, and look more closely."

The exhibition starts on July 20th and will feature drawings, digital works on paper, mixed media paintings and stereoscopic animation.

An artist talk will be on Saturday the 27th of July 2 pm in the Thomas King Observatory.
