Space Art colleagues from around the globe are invited to join us in Los Angeles for a Space Art Track that will be held as a part of the International Space Development Conference 2006 in the city of Los Angeles.
The Zero Gravity Arts Consortium¹s International Conference Program in collaboration with the STUDIO For Creative Inquiry at the College of Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon University will help organize this Space Art Track, with Lowry Burgess and Frank Pietronigro serving the community as Co-Chairs.
This is a general invitation for you to consider attending the Space Art Track so that you have an opportunity to mark this event on your 2006 calendar. Details on ISDC2006 and specific opportunities for project presentations, panel discussions and other Space Art Track programs will be forwarded to you shortly.

SPACE ART: GLOBAL CULTURAL DIVERSITY

The Co-Chairs of the Space Art Track wish to fortify conference participation from people representing the diversity and cultural richness of our global community as reflected in the population of our host city Los Angeles.
The Space Art practice is a global, human cultural endeavor that transcends national boundaries. Every human experiences the force of gravity flowing through our bodies and people from all parts of the world look up to our sky, from their unique cultural view points, and dream about floating regardless of our location on the planet.
It is our vision, as Co-Chairs, that many of these different points of view are represented in this Space Art Track. To support this vision we will actively recruit participants from around the globe.

Gravity Pulse: Theme For A Space Art Track

The following theme, Gravity Pulse, was originally conceived and written by Lowry Burgess and will be used as a guide during the development of presentations and panels held as a part of the Space Art Track. Participants will be asked to consider this theme in preparation for the Space Art Track. [...]

As a part of the Space Art Track, artists and teams will collaborate in developing an ensemble of artworks to explore and express the continuous interacting presence of all three states of gravity within the pulsation of a parabolic flight.
