What are you doing next Monday (January 30th)? Going to the moon! That's what!
This January at 17 Cox, artist Johnny Adimando will attempt and fail at the impossible: to reach the moon through conventional methods of paper folding and printmaking. At its apogee the Moon is about 406700 km from the Earth, while a single sheet of paper is about 0.01 cm high. It would take approximately 1,520,640,000 stacked pieces of paper to reach the Moon or a single sheet of paper folded on itself 42 times could reach the Moon's surface.
Johnny Adimando received his BFA from Tyler School of Art and his MFA from Rhode Island School of Design where he currently instructs printmaking and critique. Adimando is also a new adjunct faculty for Montserrat College of Art's printmaking department. He currently resides in Providence RI.
