Person, Place or Thing?


Astronauts are the new black.

Trend spotting: Astronaut art.

Jeremy Geddes. AMAZING paintings I only wish I could see in person.

Vincent Fournier. Beautiful photography project entitled “Space Project,” fittingly.

Joby Hickey & Victor Ash. Street art.

Cory McAbee’s The American Astronaut. I was drawn in by the movie poster… but the trailer is something else! A little bit La Jetée, a splash of 1984, and a hint of Metropolis. A press quote reads, “Imagine a long Laurel & Hardy skit directed by Salvador Dali” – Entertainment Weekly. It apparently came out in 2001 and cleaned up on the festival circuit. Don’t know how I could have missed this one in my film studies during art school. I mean, a space-western/musical? Yes, please. Definitely going to have to rent it. I’ll let you know if it’s out of this world.
