The first time I went to the opening of an art show, I was a little daunted. We had just moved to a new town, I didn’t know anyone and my inner engineer wasn’t sure what to expect. My anticipation was filled with all sorts of strange stereotypes. Are cravats going to be mandatory? Will there be a bongo drumming circle? What if the art crowd finds out that I’m a classically trained software engineer and need a computer to draw?
The whole thing was way more relaxed than the fantasies brewed by imagination. It was just like other social events – a group of people coming together to meet and share common interests.
The opening for Tom Sachs’ Space Program 4 is on September 18th at Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, Germany. It’ll be the perfect chance for the European community to meet and geek out over Tom’s sculpture, rockets, shoes and NFTs. And if this is your first time at an art opening, you have to fight… Wait. No, that’s Fight Club. This is Space Program: Rare Earths, and if you’re travelling on your own or feeling a little daunted, drop a note in the comments. We’ll break the ice, and you can get to know a few others who are also making the pilgrimage.

Hi! Subconsciously you already know this, but let's make it obvious. Hopefully this article was helpful. You might also find yourself following a link to Amazon to learn more about parts or equipment. If you end up placing an order, I make a couple of dollarydoos. We aren't talking a rapper lifestyle of supercars and yachts, but it does help pay for the stuff you see here. So to everyone that enables this place. Thank you.
