Exhibition: LAX Hosts 'Your Body Is a Space That Sees'
Currently on view at LAX, Terminal 1, Gate 9, post-security.
In Your Body Is a Space That Sees, Los Angeles artist Lia Halloran combines ink and light to celebrate women’s contributions to science. Her large-scale cyanotypes recall telescopic views of the night sky, captured in photographic emulsion on glass plates in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and used by a group of female astronomers to make extraordinary discoveries about the universe.
This exhibition includes text written by Dava Sobel, author of Longitude, Galileo’s Daughter, and the book, The Glass Universe, which tells the hidden history of the women whose contributions to the burgeoning field of astronomy forever changed our understanding of the stars and our place in the universe.
