Sky Gazing, ARoS, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2024-2025

Sky Gazing explores the ways artists have considered and been inspired by the vast spaces and events of the universe and its impacts on art and nature here on Earth. Including works by celebrated contemporary artists Katie Paterson (b.1981), Douglas Gordon (b.1966), Angelica Mesiti (b.1976), Roni Horn (b.1955), Søren Thilo Funder (b.1979) and more, Sky Gazing also presents Danish and European masters, whose works broaden our understanding of man’s eternal fascination with sky gazing from the observational to the abstract. Visitors will experience the immersive cosmos created by renowned Scottish artist, Katie Paterson (b.1981), who invents a galaxy from a dazzling disco ball of photographed eclipses. This is brought together with her prepared piano piece Earth-Moon-Earth (Moonlight Sonata Reflected from the Surface of the Moon) 2007 in which the moon ‘plays’ Beethoven’s composition via satellite bounce.
