Whitney Dail shares the same DNA as stardust. She spends most of her time daydreaming about the universe and anything sixties Space Age, riding her bike (and scooter) often, researching and staying informed about current issues in contemporary art, and watching pro-cycling road races. Whitney has a BFA in Sequential Art (a fancy word for comics) and is currently seeking her Masters in Arts Administration at SCAD.

The Pale Blue Dot: Carl Sagan + Mogwai + Sigur Rós
“The one good thing about space being the same as time is that if you travel to the outer reaches of the universe and the voyage takes three thousand earth years, your friends will be dead when you come back, but you will not need Botox.”
From the short story “Strung Out” by Woody Allen. Read it here.
Norman Mailers’s Limited Edition MoonFire
If I could ask Santa for one thing alone, it would be this book: Norman Mailer’s MoonFire. I caught wind of this from Katie while she was at Art Basel. Yes, it’s $1,500. But it’s worth it! Artnet tweeted about it too. Only 12 come with an actual moon rock (though I’m not sure how legal that is). However, prices vary depending on the size of the rock. Another selling point for buying the moon rock edition is that you get dinner with Buzz Aldrin! AND… the normal edition is limited to 1969. Nice touch, eh? Keep it in mind. Hint hint. Just saying.

“But outer Space,
At least this far,
For all the fuss
Of the populace
Stays more popular
Than populous.”
Robert Frost
