Gaia: Sunday 30th May – Thursday 1st July 2021. Press view: 10am, Tuesday 1st June, 2021. Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College, King William Walk, Greenwich, SE10 9NN

Following a sold-out installation in summer 2020, the jaw-dropping Gaia is returning to the Old Royal Naval College this summer. Due to popular demand, Gaia will be displayed in the magnificent Painted Hall for a month, including late night ope nin gs. This monumental sculpture by Luke Jerram amazes audiences as it rotates slowly while suspended in mid-air, an exact scale replica of Earth made using NASA imagery.

The artwork aims to inspire a sense of the Overview Effect that astronaut s experi enc e when they see Earth from space feelings of awe, and an understanding of the interconnection of all life, particularly profound after a year when many people have been unable to connect with others due to the pandemic Gaia acts as a mirror to society to provide the viewer with a new perspective of our precious planet, its outdoor spaces and nature, and the importance of being connected.

The internally-lit G aia is 1.8 million times smaller than Earth, with each centimetre of the sculpture representing 18km of the Earth s surface. By standing 211 metres away from the slowly rotating art work, viewers can see the Earth as it appears from the moon while enjoying a specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning composer Dan Jones. The sculpture provides an amazing opportunity for visitors to the Painted Hall to view Earth as it appears from space, floating in three dimensions like a blue marble ’’.

Gaia Friday night openings will illuminate visitor s worlds every Friday in June. These exciting late-night openings will allow visitors into the Painted Hall after hours, and include extended hours on the first day of opening, Sunday 30th May, and Sunday 6 th June. The late ni g ht openings will also include afterhours access to the Painted Hall Café to enjoy food and drink along with the Baroque and contemporary art up stair s in the Hall.

Matthew Mees, Chief Executive of the Old Royal Naval College comments The wonder of Gaia as a thoughtful and illuminating work of art needs to be seen to be believed, especially against the magnificent Baroque setting of the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College We were over w helmed with the re sponse it received last year and so are delighted to be given the opportunity to install Jerram s thought provoking work once again and to give more people a chance to visit and experience it for themselves.

The Painted Hall will be open as usual during the Gaia installation and talks and events will continue as programmed Gaia was previously displayed at the Old R oy al Naval College as part of Greenwich+Docklands International Festival 2020.

The Old Royal Naval College is reopening its beautiful outdoor grounds, café and gift shops from 12th April. There will be digital events including award-winning plawright Adeola Solankes Phillis in London, set in the Painted Hall and online drawing workshops held by illustrator Nick Ellwood in April and May. The Old Brewery is reopening for outdoor dining, and there will be pop-up food stalls outdoors every weekend, with picnic baskets and deck chairs available for visitors.
