Description
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 – the first landing on the Moon - Joseph Bellows Gallery is pleased to present "FULL MOON: The Apollo Missions." The exhibition will feature photographs from Michael Light’s book "FULL MOON" and will be on view from October 17th – December 5th, 2009.
*An opening reception with Michael Light will be held on Saturday, October 17th (5-8 pm).
As a landscape photographer Michael Light is not only interested in the physical aspects of a place but also spaces where humans seem dwarfed by their natural surroundings, places where they confront powerful natural forces. To him the Moon was perfect subject. For "FULL MOON," Light chose 129 of the 32,000 images from NASA’s archives and wove them into a narrative that begins with launch and is followed by a walk in space, an orbit of the Moon, lunar landing and exploration, and a return to Earth.
Location: Joseph Bellows Gallery, 7661 Girard Avenue La Jolla, CA 92037
