We intend for Earthbound Moon itself to be a work of interplanetary conceptual art. Sites will not be just a local artwork/commons, but a node of a larger artwork themselves. Like orchids, each site will be an individual bloom from a single organism that stretches across the human environment. To this end, each site will be joined along one edge with another site in some way, so that were you to take a satellite photo of each, they could be puzzled together to create a standard sculpture garden. The sites, however are being leased in shapes that allow for this sculpture garden to be pieced together not as a terrestrial parcel of land, but as a sphere that could function as a new moon for Earth. A moon held in the public trust by 23E Studios, visitable by all humans, serving as a place to relax, exercise, garden, dream, picnic, and perform. A park for all humanity, in orbit around our shared home.

In choosing sites, Earthbound Moon considers every environ that humans encounter as fair game. Not only are we looking at cities, towns, villages and hamlets for sites, but we intend to locate sculptures on the pacific trash vortex , at the bottom of the ocean in international waters, on Antarctica, in the space debris ring orbiting Earth, at the LaGrange points in space, on the moon, on mars, and in extragalactic vehicles. Beyond this, we harbor the desire to work w billboard companies, to get 20% of billboards worldwide donated to photographers, painters, coders and other artists. We adamantly believe that to challenge capitalism at its most vicious and rapacious, culture must be willing to dream as grandly and aggressively as commerce; to challenge the cult of individuality and the inequities of private property, art must be willing to act collectively and create globally.

We are committed to keeping all signage off of our sites, exempting the 23E Studios plaque featuring information on Earthbound Moon and the specific work. There will be no “keep off” or “do not touch” signs. There will be no fences and guards. The works must be able to withstand nature, both human and environmental. Each sculpture will present a Gordian knot of a challenge to the artists proposing to work the site.
