  • Summary

  • Because they develop the imagination through uncommon determination, home planetariums are spaces conducive to adventure, akin to the utopia of the avant-garde. These are the ones who broke through the window of classical painting to experiment with boundless new spaces. Malevitch, writing in 'Suprematism', perhaps said it best:

    'I have broken through the lampshade of the constraints of color. I have moved into the white (starlight). Sail after me, fellow aviators, into the abyss. This manifesto might easily appear above the entry to Kovak's Planetarium, Phairis's Museum, or alongside Likert's pierced oil drum, so similarly do the artist and the amateur scientist feel that same desire to take flight'
