In the 1980s
the artist Mihail
had a dream
to build a rocketship
that would go nowhere,
a monument
to human creativity.
Rocketships,
an exhibition of
drawings and mixed media,
launches
April 30, 2022
at Municipal Bonds.
Join us in celebration
of Mihail's monumental dreams.
Municipal Bonds is honored to present Rocketships, a mixed-media exhibition by the late Bulgarian-born American artist Mihail (1929–2021). Inspired by the iconic moment of the early 1980s when NASA launched its first space shuttle, Mihail created a body of work themed on space travel. His series of architectonic drawings, dream-like paintings, atmospheric watercolors, and model sculptures from the 1980s and 90s celebrates the era of nascent space exploration. During a time of quantum leaps in science and the acceleration of humanity's hope in outer space discovery, Mihail's work captured the transcendent imagination and optimism around what he simply called "rocketships."
