LILIANE LIJN
Riflemaker
London
15 April – 5 July 2008
For the first time in history, stardust, particles of comets and burned out stars have been brought to our planet from beyond Mars. An exhibition by American artist Liliane Lijn acts as a metaphor for this groundbreaking NASA mission: it presents interstellar dust as cosmic ruins. Lijn's exploration of Aerogel - her creation of heavenly fragments consisting of whole and fragmented forms made from a silicon-based, untouchable and ephemeral substance used by the NASA Stardust Project as the collector of interstellar dust - will be exhibited in Stardust, a glowing large-scale installation at Riflemaker.
