The ART SPACE FOR SPACE ART campaign is the worldwide first art event in space. You might ask yourself what is the link between art and space? Space and the dream to find a second earth in the universe always carried a tremendous fascination for people, while the desire to dive into a new world is also an important task of art. The way we explore the galaxy is changing dramatically since the last years with huge private investments of Richard Branson, Elon Musk and other visionaries. Now it gets time for the “Space 2.0” mission for contemporary art. I will trigger this by executing as first artist an art project in space, which should not only geographically widen the horizon of the human world. This initiative might help to self-reflect, inspires in following your “no limits, no boarders” dreams but also offers others the opportunity to take actively part (or passive as sponsor) in this unique cultural event.
The ART SPACE FOR SPACE ART initiative will be executed in 2 main steps, a major space escape project on earth called "ART SPACE" in summer 2014 and an amazing "SPACE ART" project during my suborbital trip with a real spacecraft in 2016. I started already with my astronaut training.
Just watch my video for more details on this historic art mission in space.
