"Life on Mars" brings to my mind questions of place. As I look forward to CI:08, considering the shows starting points like Paul Thek's view of earth from space in combination with the theme, it's all very dislocating. In a good way, right. Even before I see the show these two "referents"--the word seems opposite to my intent--move me off my mark. "Are we alone in the universe? Do aliens exist? Or are we, ourselves, the strangers in our own worlds?" Right.
At this point the signs in the gallery say "don't touch--paint still wet" so I glimpse the titles of some of the artists' previous works, not sure what CI:08 will unveil. There seems to be numerous references to place. I get the mixed sense of utopian and dystopian views. In an age that has brings into consciousness first worlds and third worlds, moonwalks, and Second Life, these artists seem to be not only representing alternative views of what it means to be human but alternative views of where we think we are. Or should be. Or could be.
