The Golden Record, 2024, Jule Collins Smith Museum (Auburn, AL, USA)

The debut solo exhibition by artist Rachel Libeskind gathers relics of daily life, reflecting on the spaces we work in and those meanings for human existence. Her research-based and sculptural approach is driven by Alabama’s NASA connection and the space agency’s interstellar time capsule of the same name. She also includes African American folklore from Auburn’s Special Collections and Archives that researchers gathered over 100 years ago.
