Art in Orbit considers orbital space as a site for arts practice, in the era of commercial spaceflight. Drawing on interviews with artists who have deployed work in space, and examples of sculpture, craft, painting, choreography and performance, the book explores potential opportunities for artists to engage in the environment of space and the new considerations that inform these practices. It defines space art as a new field of practice that is shaped, in particular, by microgravity, and observes the extent to which postgravity thinking requires artists to revisit many of the fundamental assumptions and processes on which their practice is founded. The book positions the emerging field of space art in the context of the new commercial space race, the democratisation of spaceflight, and new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration between the arts and space sectors.
