A different activity will greet visitors every month, with social time to follow.

For September's Meet Me at the Gallery, join artist Alejandro A. Barbosa for a discussion of his new work, I Got Us the Moon (2025), currently on view in the Della & Stuart McLaughlin Gallery. Barbosa will share highlights from his research on the moon and lunar exploration missions that have informed the work, as well as insights from his material process.

Tiled together across 280 individual prints, I Got Us the Moon composites a full atlas of Earth's moon at monumental scale. Alejandro has renamed the moon's many topographical features after thousands of individuals, laser-engraving their names into the papers' surfaces as he both references and upends the many rules, conventions, and traditions of lunar nomenclature. Motivated by the current potential of a new space race, Barbosa repositions the moon not as a frontier to be conquered nor an asset to be mined for resources, but as a parallel world: one that becomes a site of collective fantasies, alternate timelines, and queer world-building.
