Summary
Artist Jitish Kallat’s haunting new installation Wall Drawing at the Menil Drawing Institute transforms a Cold War-era nuclear moon plan into a poetic meditation on time, perception, and human ambition. Inspired by declassified U.S. Air Force Project A119—once a serious proposal to detonate a bomb on the moon—Kallat layers etched glass over printed documents, creating fractured visuals that blur past and present. Collaborating with Rice University’s materials science team, he used aerospace-grade glass technology to craft a translucent veil that evokes both fragility and resilience. Through this work, Kallat invites viewers to question how we view scientific dreams today—and how future generations might laugh at our own.
