Art and Space

A show entitled Light Years: Photography and Space Open tomorrow at the National Gallery of Victoria. The show focuses on space travel in the '60s and 70's and the picture from it.

"The 1960s and ‘70s were an exciting time for the artistic and scientific exploration of worlds beyond our own. They were ‘light years’ in which people looked up to the skies and beyond, in a real and an imagined sense, and through photography discovered additional dimensions"

This show coinsides with the International Year of Astronomy and the 40th anniversary of the walk on the moon.
