Light Night Leeds, 2017. The moon has always inspired humanity, acting as a ‘cultural mirror’ to society, reflecting the ideas and beliefs of all people around the world. Museum of the Moon allows us to observe and contemplate cultural similarities and differences around the world, and consider the latest moon science. #MuseumoftheMoon Each venue to present the artwork can programme their own series lunar inspired events beneath the moon.

Hoth Bricks - Toute l'actualité LEGO Star Wars et bien plus encore.... – Francisco Goya, The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters Francisco Goya, Plate 43, The sleep of reason produces monsters from Los Caprichos, 1799, etching, aquatint, drypoint, and burin, plate: 21.2 x 15.1 cm (The Metropolitan Museum of Art) A dark vision In this ominous image, we see the dark vision of humanity that characterizes Goya’s work for the rest of his life. A man sleeps, apparently peacefully, even as bats and owls threaten from all sides and a lynx lays quiet, but wide-eyed and alert. Los Caprichos On 6 February 1799, Francisco Goya put an advertisement in the Diario de Madrid. Los Caprichos was a significant departure from the subjects that had occupied Goya up to that point––tapestry cartoons for the Spanish royal residences, portraits of monarchs and aristocrats, and a few commissions for church ceilings and altars. Many of the prints in the Caprichos series express disdain for the pre-Enlightenment practices still popular in Spain at the end of the Eighteenth century (a powerful clergy, arranged marriages, superstition, etc.).
From Bricks To Bothans | A LEGO Star Wars Community: News, Reviews, Set Guide, and Forums The taboo-busting legacy of Leigh Bowery (Credit: YouTube) Thu 28 October 2021 15:00, UK Leigh Bowery was perhaps the most influential performance artist of the modern era. Influencing everyone from Noel Fielding to the late Alexander McQueen, his pioneering steps busted taboo and defied social mores. Born in Melbourne, Australia, it would be after his move to London in his late teens where he would make his indelible impact on culture. Not solely a performance artist but also a fashion designer, musician, director and club promoter, there was no art that Bowery didn’t try his hand at. He would quickly make waves as the most alluring yet horrifying performer the city and the country had to offer. He sang and danced, and, often to the audience’s surprise, he would fall onto his back and simulate giving birth. He would then bite off the umbilical cord, and then the two would take a bow, and that would be the end of the show. It was at Taboo where Bowery met the iconic painter, Lucian Freud. Watch the man in action below.

With real scientific data, artist Martin Vargic has visualized hundreds of al... As shocking as it sounds today, prior to the 1990s, scientists couldn't be certain that stars beyond the sun also had planets orbiting them. Since the discovery of the first extra-solar planet, or "exoplanet," around 30 years ago, over 6,000 of these distant worlds have been revealed, with thousands more detected but not yet confirmed. The burgeoning exoplanet catalog has delivered a multitude of planets that really emphasize the "alien" in "alien worlds." With planets so hot they rain iron, planets with savage, glass-filled winds and planets so mishappen by their stars they roll around in their orbits like eggs, it is little wonder that exoplanets have captivated people beyond the hallowed halls of scientific academia, inspiring incredible and breathtaking works of art. "I have been interested in astronomy since I can remember and was always captivated by the idea of other planets orbiting distant stars unlike anything in the solar system," 26-year-old Vargic told Space.com.
BBC Radio 4 - Moving Pictures, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Édouard Manet Chris Ofili: The Upper Room | Tate Britain Chris Ofili’s The Upper Room consists of thirteen paintings displayed in an environment especially designed by the architect David Adjaye. When it was first publicly exhibited in 2002, critics commented on the chapel-like qualities of the space and its lighting. The arrangement of twelve canvases flanking a thirteenth larger one suggests Christ and his Apostles, and the arrangement has an extraordinary sensory effect. Each painting shows a rhesus macaque monkey, and each is dominated by a different colour, identified in Spanish on the elephant dung supports. With this work Ofili raises questions about the relationships between civilisation and untamed nature, between the religious and the secular.
