Sean Cordeiro and Claire Healy | e-invite and newsletter
In each lifetime there may only be a few re-defining moments. The title of Sean Cordeiro & Claire Healy’s exhibition is what was to have been the title of Christa McAuliffe’s lesson to the schoolchildren of America from the space shuttle Challenger. In these low relief LEGO wall sculptures the artists re-construct this re-defining moment of destruction.
“To invent the sailing ship or steamer is to invent the shipwreck." -Paul Virilio
