Featuring three dozen works by artists including René Magritte and Isa Genzken, taps into visualizations of unidentified flying objects as a means of exploring how, despite contemporary societies’ technological advances, paranormal phenomena still have the capacity to “ challenge or expand our beliefs about humanity’s place ” in the universe, the gallery wrote. Magritte’s eponymous painting, in particular, is “the Mona Lisa” of UFO art , the curator told Artnet News — which, like lots of surreal UFO works, is relevant to “transhistorical human experience, belief systems, cybernetics, and AI … It’s an attempt to map where we are in the world.” Source: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/mona-lisa-ufo-paintings-goes-223900339.html
