The formation of our curatorial collective, the Ninth Planet, began with a walk through the streets of New York City in the summer of 2023, just before the U.S. congressional hearings on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and non-human “biologics.” Recognizing that we were likely on the brink of “official” disclosure of non-human intelligences interacting with
contemporary human civilization, our collective formed, with an aim to wrest the narrative away from military, governmental, and corporate ownership. Rather than reinforcing systems of control, we seek to illuminate what falls outside the frameworks of global political power structures: the lived experiences, histories, and cosmologies that have long acknowledged and incorporated encounters with the unknown.
A Lagrange Point is a relationship of equilibrium, a region in space where the gravitational forces of two celestial bodies create a state of suspension. It is a place of stillness between immense forces, and a vantage point for recalibration. The exhibition borrows this concept to explore thresholds and transitions of knowledge, power, and perception in relation to UAP and broader ideas around non-human intelligence.
