Palazzo Sassoli de Bianchi – Tomas Saraceno exhibition. Big Space Elevator Tree, 2010 and Small Space Elevator Tree.  Among Saraceno’s most visionary works: "Galaxies Forming along Filaments, like Droplets along the Strands of a Spider's Web," presented in 2009 at the Venice Biennale; "Cloud City" of 2012, designed for the Roof Garden of the Metropolitan Museum of NY, "On Space Time Foam", the monumental installation on display until February 17, 2013 at Hangar Bicocca in Milan.

 

Palazzo Sassoli de Bianchi – Tomas Saraceno exhibition. Space Elevator (2009-10), a video projection that documents Saraceno (above) and his team testing concepts and materials in the form of a field trial.  As the title suggests, the piece playfully appropriates the spirit of an actual NASA endeavor, which aims to produce an “elevator” reaching from Earth’s surface into space. In the video, Saraceno and collaborators are shown inflating three large balloons that glisten brightly against a blue Argentine sky. Suspended between the balloons and the land below is a small tent in which the artist himself sits and, soon, is lifted aloft, like so much cargo en route to the heavens above.
