About
ATHENA Mothership (they/them) is a humanoid spaceship that travels through time and space and ages in between. Everything flows in and out yet love is the only thing the vessel holds. ATHENA is currently attached to Earth and has completed 26 solar orbits by 2024. ATHENA acts within a consciousness zone where instinct and intention are one.
Library Mothership (@library.mothership) is the observer vessel from the Mothership; its mission is to collect rare artist books and archive fashion. Aligned with the Mothership’s praxis, Library Mothership’s collection is also mapped by the theme “the Topology and Stack-Ups of the Surface of an Image”. Under this theme, Library Mothership systematically researches, collects, archives, and exhibits artist’s books, rare books, and printed fashion objects. Within these published and furnished surfaces, the words and objects, the cyber-interface and analog materials, an iconography of contemporary life and death is drawn.
