To leave earth, in a dream or in a human-made vessel, is an innate ambition. Whether inspired by desperation, mischief, patriotism or wanderlust, the contraptions we create to assist us are both splendid and foolish. As the example of amateur astronomers who supported the Fabio Muzzi Giovagnoni astronomical observatory of Giardini Margherita attested, this desire for exploration is often for the love of it.
Wayfarers collective is excited to announce Four American artists- Kate Kosek, Maureen O'Leary, Macon Reed and Samantha Robinson will all be guests of the collective Antonello Ghezzi, and create a crucible for the multifaceted love of escape - how you might get away, what you might take with you, how you stand on the shoulders of giants, and whether you will come back at all. Their work will be featured in To Leave Earth/Lasciare la Terra.
