Tom Sachs, ConEd NASAblad, 2008
Just a little note – Tom Sachs is showing some work at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Sachs is well known for reconstructing, from scratch, well known symbols and objects, frequently adding new features that were not part of the originals. Previous projects have included the McDonald’s arches, Hello Kitty, and the entire Apollo space program.
The work showing at the Aldrich, however, is a little closer to home: Cameras. This includes reproductions of the Haselblads brought to the moon, as well as Leicas, Nikon SLRs, and other well known camera symbols. Check it out if you can.
