Slide projector installation, ‘Beyond the Wall Lies the Ocean’ at Artis Den Bosch, s’Hertogenbosch, Holland, January - February 2009
The slides show a sequence of diorama photographs reconstructing the landing of Apollo 15 in the lunar highlands.
The exhibition included an opening night performance by the art band Die Kunst, who fully utilised the acoustics of the cavernous space whilst performing their own interpretative variations on Hawkwind's 'Silver Machine'.
This exhibition also marked the publication of Bussard Ramjet, published by Artwords Press.
This exhibition was reviewed by Verily Klaasen ‘John Timberlake, Behind the Wall Lies the Ocean’ Kunstbeeld Nr 3, 2009
