We’re pleased to share that Essex Recovery Foundation has been awarded a private viewing of the ‘Museum of the Moon’ exhibition coming to St Martin’s Church in Basildon.
Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram.
Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface*.
Over its lifetime, the Museum of the Moon will be presented in a number of different ways both indoors and outdoors, so altering the experience and interpretation of the artwork. As it travels from place to place, it gathers new musical compositions and an ongoing collection of personal responses, stories and mythologies, as well as highlighting the latest moon science.
The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones. Each venue also programmes their own series of lunar inspired events beneath the moon.
We are able to offer 45 FREE spaces to our community to view this exhibition on Thursday 13th February from 3pm till 3:30pm. We ask all attendees to meet us outside the church at 2:45pm.
