‘One Small Step’ is a unique exhibition featuring 12 leading artists – in-line with the 12 men who have walked on the moon since 1969 – who each transformed an astronaut helmet into a work of art to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landings. Participating artists included Jake and Dinos Chapman, Joana Vasconcelos, Mr. Brainwash, Bran Symondson, UnSKilled Worker, Hayden Kays, Ben Eine and Chris Levine.
The exhibition was curated by Ben Moore and toured as the headline feature of The Other Art Fair in London (July 2019) Los Angeles and Dallas (September 2019) and raised over £100,000 for MAG (Mines Advisory Group) whose mission is to clear landmines and unexploded bombs from conflict-affected communities, where one small step can be the difference between life and death. All the artworks were showcased on the London Underground supported by Art Below.
One Small Step is a unique exhibition featuring 12 leading artists – in-line with the 12 men who have walked on the moon since 1969 – who will each transform an astronaut helmet into a work of art. Participating artists include Anish Kapoor, Joana Vasconcelos, D*Face, Mr. Brainwash, Bran Symondson, UnSKilled Worker, Philip Colbert, Hayden Kays, Ben Eine, Dan Baldwin, Alison Jackson and Chris Levine.
Curated by Ben Moore, all proceeds from the sale of the One Small Step helmets via an online auction at Paddle 8 will go to MAG (Mines Advisory Group) whose mission is to clear landmines and unexploded bombs from conflict-affected communities, where one small step can be the difference between life and death.

Curator Ben Moore comments, “It’s incredible to think that only 50 years ago we first landed on the moon which has been our loyal companion in the night sky since the beginning of time as we know it. I believe that one day soon when we have conquered the limitations of speed the planets will become like new countries in our universe and we will begin a new chapter of space travel and planetary colonisation. Through this all I hope planet Earth will always remain our home – safe and secure thanks to the good work of charities like MAG.’
The exhibition follows curator Ben Moore’s sell-out 2013 exhibition Art Wars where some of the world’s leading artists were given Star Wars stormtrooper helmet replicas to transform.
The ONE SMALL STEP exhibition will be unveiled at the first summer edition of The Other Art Fair, from 4 – 7 July where it will be on public display in The Crossing, King’s Cross, one of London’s largest and most exciting redevelopments, and the capital’s creative neighbourhood. In addition to the original astronaut helmet artworks, there will be limited edition prints available for sale at the fair.
Jessica Chow, UK Fair Manager of The Other Art Fair, adds, “One Small Step creatively pairs a momentous tribute with a special charity and cause, cleverly brought to life by an incredible selection of artists. The helmets will be a highlight of the fair not to miss.”
Posters featuring the astronaut helmets will go on display at nearby London Underground stations supported by Art Below. The auction will open via Paddle8 from 4 July and then countdown to the anniversary of the moon landing and close on 22 July. The original helmets plus selected limited edition prints will be part of the auction, with all proceeds going to MAG.

‘Mastectomy Mameria’ by @colbertcharlotte on show @fulhamtownhall
A mass of breasts -closer inspection reveals some nipples are missing, sewn up as after a
mastectomy. Since the birth of their children, and her experience of hospital maternity units,
Charlotte’s creative output has reflected her sense of life postpartum.
Language, psychoanalysis, socio-political constructions of gender and identity are at the heart of Colbert’s practice.
Spanning film, photography, ceramics and sculpture, she questions narrative structures and storytelling, weaving surreal and fantastical mise en scene in a documentarian approach to characters, figures and people.

The Dotmaster, a UK arist, started painting on the streets of Brighton in the early ’90s.
He takes a sideways look at a populist media with a
typically English sense of humour.
His work is impeccably detailed – his half-tone work, stark black and white street pieces and unique, photo-real colour stencils all create street-based illusions that fool the eye.

@fulhamtownhall @luap
LUAP, multidisciplinary artist carries his adult-size Pink Bear suit and 20 kgs of professional equipment to the ends of the earth, having visited every continent except Antarctica, where the bear becomes the subject of unusual but breathtaking pieces. The photograph he brings home acts as a bouncing-board for the next step of his creative process. By employing different mediums and techniques he tackles issues related to the the ever-growing sense of eco-anxiety afflicting so many these days, particularly the youth. LUAP uses his art, hence, to draw in his audience and convey a message oscillating between angst and hope, achieved through a variety of methods and techniques.
