05.Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
August 8 - September 6, 2025 / Vessel City / Cleveland OH / curated by Gabrielle Banzhaf
Jon Gott’s Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear reveals the monument not as a fixed object of reverence, but as a living, evolving record of time and matter.
Its planetoid form embodies our encounter with the vastness of the universe through the immediacy of our daily surroundings. In the creation, use, and maintenance of systems and machines made in our own likeness, we catch a glimpse of an imagined future among the stars.
Where are we going—and how will we get there? We build the very tools that shape our longing to leave this planet, constructing not only the means of escape, but the meaning behind it.
