How could aerospace engineering evolve without military interests? At OGR, Trevor Paglen's answer.

Binario 1 at OGR - Officine Grandi Riparazioni in Turin presents from March 12 to May 31, 2020 the exhibition Trevor Paglen - Unseen Stars, curated by Ilaria Bonacossa and Valentina Lacinio.

The exhibition aims to be a response to the debate on the artist’sspatial investigation, which relates contemporary art and science, inviting the public to re-imagine Space as a place of possibility.

Visitors will then be greeted by a series of satellites, designed in collaboration with aerospace engineers: sculptures ready for Space, ranging from small and lightweight to large reflective structures. When placed in orbit, these satellites can become sculptures in the night sky, visible from Earth after sunset and before sunrise, like bright stars moving slowly.
Satellites are both sculptural experiments and devices that evoke a connection to Space and the politics that govern its colonization.

Research on these forms can be seen as a possible response to howaerospace engineering might evolve if its methods were decoupled from military interests.

Hours: Thursday and Friday from 3 to 9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
