Giants in the Sky - The Rise and Fall of Airships

June 6  – September 27, 2015

New Museum Los Gatos presents Giants in the Sky: The Rise and Fall of Airships. The exhibit opens June 6 and runs through September 27, 2015. This multimedia, interactive exposition includes contemporary artwork, vintage photographs, artifacts, memorabilia and video.

In the early 20^th Century airships became both a promising technology and an exclusive mode of luxury travel, but it lasted just one generation. During this golden age of air discovery, Moffett Field was home to the great airship USS Macon, becoming the birthplace for scientific, technological research and development. The story of airships explores the quest for aeronautic innovation, its infusion into popular culture, and the rise and fall of a technology that continues to capture our imagination.

San Francisco artists Jenny Robinson and Stacey Carter, and California painter Michael Rosenfeld, illustrate the scale and grandeur of these superstructures. Contributions from The Museum of Monterey, AirshipVentures and the private collections of Robert Flynn Johnson, Curator Emeritus of The   Achenbach Foundation FAMSF and Cheryl Ganz, Curator Emerita of The Smithsonian Philately Museum feature ephemera, photographs and objects providing historical context.

New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) is located at the Los Gatos Civic Center in downtown Los Gatos. Engaging community at the intersection of art, history and education through innovative, locally connected and globally relevant exhibits, programs and experiences.

More About the Hunters Point Shipyard Artists  In 1976, a private ship repair contractor leased the yard from the U.S. Navy and sublet buildings to civilians, including The Point’s founder, Jacques Terzian, whose family business fabricated found-object based furniture and wall installations. In the early 1980s, Terzian saw the possibility of transforming neglected buildings into affordable work spaces for artists, and The Point soon became America’s largest artist colony and the authentic  home to San Francisco’s visual artists, musicians and writers.
