FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Interplay: Geometric Abstraction
Exhibition Selected for Lunar Codex –
Heading to the Moon in 2025!
Palm Beach County, FL – September 2024 –
In a groundbreaking moment for art in South Florida, 33 Contemporary Gallery’s acclaimed exhibition Interplay:
Contemporary Geometric Abstraction has been selected to be part of the
Lunar Codex. The exhibition will be included in the Codex Polaris, scheduled to
launch to the Lunar southern hemisphere in September 2025 aboard the SpaceX
Falcon Heavy rocket.
This prestigious opportunity makes Interplay one of the few exhibitions in the world
to have its works digitally archived and sent to the Moon as part of the Lunar
Codex, an extraordinary project initiated by Dr. Samuel Peralta. The exhibition’s
catalog will be preserved on digital memory cards, ensuring that the selected works
of art will be part of a lasting cultural archive on the Moon.
The Codex Polaris mission, of which Interplay is now a part, will join seven other
missions in archiving the work of 35,000 contemporary artists, writers,
musicians, and filmmakers from 254 countries, territories, and indigenous
nations. This digital preservation symbolizes the unbreakable link between human
creativity and space exploration.
The Interplay: Geometric Abstraction Exhibition, curated by Sergio Gomez,
originally debuted at the Palm Beach Art, Antique & Design Showroom in Lake
Worth, Florida, showcasing the works of 49 exceptional artists from across the
globe. These artists, representing countries such as Ukraine, Canada, Scotland,
France, Germany, Spain, the UK, Argentina, Italy, and the United States, were
selected for their innovative approaches to geometric abstraction. The exhibition
explores how contemporary artists use geometry as both a point of departure and a
destination, incorporating it symbolically, narratively, and in formal, non-objective
ways.

“Being part of the Lunar Codex is an extraordinary honor,” says Sergio Gomez,
curator and owner of 33 Contemporary Gallery. “When we first launched Interplay in
August 2024, we knew we were gathering something special—an exhibition that not
only explored the depth of geometric abstraction but connected artists from around
the world. Now, to have this exhibition’s catalog sent to the Moon and preserved for
future generations is beyond what any of us could have imagined. It’s a testament to
the enduring impact of art, transcending both space and time.”

to geometric abstraction. The following artists' works will be digitally archived and

About the Lunar Codex:
The Lunar Codex is a visionary project conceived by Dr. Samuel Peralta. Its
mission is to archive contemporary art, literature, music, and film on the Moon,
creating a cultural time capsule of humanity’s creative legacy. This project is part of
NASA’s Artemis Program, with works sent through a series of missions that will
deposit digital archives on the lunar surface. The Codex Polaris mission, scheduled
for September 2025, will transport Interplay: Geometric Abstraction to the lunar
surface in digital format, where it will remain as a cultural record of human
achievement.
