Exploring Jupiter’s Icy Moon with Artist Tom Sachs

To see more of Tom’s work, follow @tomsachs on Instagram.

In his New York studio, contemporary artist Tom Sachs (@tomsachs) is a master of bricolage, creating significant pieces from available objects. “It’s about the approach, which is do it yourself,” he says. “Don’t be afraid of the details, but embrace them deeply and go all the way.” Evidence of Tom’s attention to detail is present in his current exhibition “Space Program: Europa” at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (@ybca). This third installment of Tom’s Space Program takes us to Europa, Jupiter’s icy moon; previous exhibitions have included missions to Earth’s moon and Mars. Space travel has been pervasive in his work since the mid-90s, but does Tom actually want to go? “No,” he says. “I would rather explore every corner of this Earth. After going to space, Earth is like a big, warm, wet kiss. The most hospitable place on Mars is a thousand times more dangerous than the bottom of our ocean and the top of Everest.”
