About Life on Mars: The 2008 Carnegie International

Images related to Life on Mars, the 2008 Carnegie International exhibition at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, opening May 3, 2008. The exhibition posits the questions:

Are we alone in the universe?
Do aliens exist?
Or are we, ourselves, the
strangers in our own worlds?

The title of the exhibition, Life on Mars -- appropriated from the David Bowie song -- doesn't apply only to artists dealing with aliens or even themes of alienation, but rather functions as a way of organizing the show and addressing the experience of living in the world today. "Life on Mars" poses a poetic question of longing, and of trying to connect. It relates not only to a literal search for extra-terrestrial life, but also to sending out signals in the dark, and hoping to get a response.
