Metagalactic brings together a body of work that relies on the aesthetics of outer space to explore themes about vastness, infinitude, darkness, and exploration into the unknown. Since the beginning of time, humans have been fascinated with the cosmos. We have searched for the meaning of our own existence through the unknown expanse of the world outside of Earth. Even as science continues to enlighten our understanding of space, there are unfathomable reaches into the universe that beguile us and propel this group of artists to consider our place in this world through painting, photography, printing, sculpture, and performance.

Some of the works included in this show are straightforward depictions or study of outer space, and other works explore atmospheric conditions, highlighting correspondence and chance.
