BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI.- The Cranbrook Art Museum presents Space Is the Place, on view through January 14, 2007. The theme of space exploration – its infinite potential, as well as its historical successes and failures – is the focus of Space Is the Place. The paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations, and sound and video works created in the last ten years by the more than fifteen artists from around the world -- represents space as both a realm of infinite possibility and a place fraught with problems. Included is a new work from NASA’s first artist-in-residence, Laurie Anderson, along with pieces by Nina Katchadourian, Oleg Kulik, Julian LaVerdiere, Kay Schimert and others.

The exhibition Space Is the Place is organized and circulated by iCI (Independent Curators International), New York. The guest curators are Alex Baker and Toby Kamps. Space Is the Place will make its national première at Cranbrook Art Museum.
