Based in New York, Sachs’s handmade, bricolage sculptures utilize everyday materials like cardboard, duct tape, and plywood to recontextualize cultural touchstones and everyday objects. For Sachs, bricolage goes beyond mere technique; it embodies a philosophy that conveys insights into consumerism, existentialism, and how sculpture is perceived.

Tom Sachs launched his first Space Program in 2007, with a bricolage moon landing, complete with a full-scale Apollo-era Landing Excursion Module (LEM) and a space systems demonstration to showcase the urgency, nuance, and ritual of the event. In the two decades since, Sachs has committed himself to evolving and growing his capabilities and his toolkit for deep space exploration.

From his maiden voyage to the moon (2007, Gagosian Gallery, Los Angeles), Sachs subsequently fitted his astronauts to land on and gather samples from Mars (2012, Park Avenue Armory, New York), conduct a sculpture-driven ancient tea ceremony on Europa, the icy moon of Jupiter (2017, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco), and harvest rare minerals on Vesta, the brightest and closest asteroid to Earth (2021, Deichtorhallen, Hamburg).

Space Program: Infinity is the first of Sachs’s missions to directly explore course correction, surprise extra-terrestrial encounters, and the parallel risks and rewards of journeying into the eternity of the universe and the vastness of the mind.

Visitors enter Space Program: Infinity through the Robert Irwin Scrim Clean Air Room (RISCAR), symbolically cleansing themselves of earthly impurities. They then continue through a maze-like series of purpose-built rooms housing artifacts from previous space missions and more than a dozen new works, including Faith, a multi-media installation and experience whose participants confront ideas about their identities, their relationships, and their existence.

At the heart of the exhibition, visitors encounter the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), the backbone of Sachs’ Space Program. First exhibited in 2007 in Los Angeles, LEM is modeled after Apollo 11’s lunar excursion module. It embodies the ingenuity, complexity, and romanticism of space exploration and has undergone several mission-specific transformations as it continues to serve Space Program and its astronauts.

Near the exit, visitors find the Indoctrination Center. A Space Program hallmark, it invites visitor participation: take a test, earn an ID card, and become an honorary Space Program astronaut yourself.
