‘With the show Mercury 13, Eva Dixon<\/a> evokes a fantastical narrative following the mission of the same name, where 13 women, after passing gruelling Astronaut training cloaked under a media blanket, were denied their chance at space flight after the programme was scrapped in 1962. Objects: woven fire hose, shiny industrial panels and a make-shift command module, built from reclaimed timber and stolen street signs, act as artefacts of Dixon\u2019s alternate timeline, in which Wally Funk, an American aviation pioneer and member of the Mercury 13 in 1961, was the first American woman sent to space.’ – Olivia Rumsey <\/p>\n
