Appearances of blinking ellipsoids, whirling orbs and other such sinister sightings have been reported throughout history, but nowhere has the idea of contact with extraterrestrials taken hold so powerfully as in the postwar United States. The UFO Show presents these phenomena in a fresh context, as inspiration and subject matter for contemporary visual art. Creating two- and three-dimensional work relating directly or symbolically to discs, saucers and other related images, 12 artists including Mariko Mori, Ionel Talpazan, Keith Haring, Panamarenko, Oliver Wasow, Claire Jervert and Paul Laffoley confront a culturally ingrained (and commercially lucrative) millennial obsession.
