The title "Outta Space" was inspired by a Van Halen song from 2012. The song alludes to a situation on Planet Earth as being so overcrowded and environmentally degraded, that there is no other choice but to leave the plane and looking for another home somewhere in the vastness of the cosmos. This exhibition has two parts: one part consists of a wide spectrum of installations that address environmental issues and the other part is dedicated to artistic visions of Alternative Worlds that our voyaging friends may encounter and find a place to settle in.
