Aleksandra Mir. Sternberg Press.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday 28 August, 1999, against a background of puffing industrial plumes, a pinkish-blue sky, and the sound of bongo drum beats, Aleksandra Mir, dressed in a smart white dress and with American flag in hand, scaled the side of a moonscape of sand dunes and makeshift craters to become the first woman on the moon. The performance First Woman on the Moon marked the beginning of Mir\u2019s exploration of outer space as she staged a moon landing by transforming a Dutch beach into the moon\u2019s surface using the help of local people and heavy machinery.<\/p>\n<p>Mir\u2019s projects offer her own take on popular cultural myths and historical events, by combining religious iconography with NASA imagery or symbols of space travel. Her work reflects on these events that span half a millennium of human\u2014mostly male-dominated\u2014quest, transforming or deconstructing them into a make-believe world of her own. Mir resists and modifies; her work creates its own authenticity and truth.<\/p>\n<p>The Space Age consists of seven fold-out posters and a text by Martin Herbert. The publication coincides with the exhibition at M \u2013 Museum Leuven which encompasses fourteen years of Mir\u2019s career (1999\u20132013).<\/p>\n<p>Copublished with M \u2013 Museum Leuven<br \/>\nDesign by Yvonne Blanco<\/p>\n<p>Posterbook incl. seven fold-out posters<\/p>\n<p>16 \u20ac<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/shop\/the-space-age.html\">Buy it<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Space Age.
