In "Space Program: Mars," Tom Sachs fills the Park Avenue Armory with a kind of childhood fantasy gesamptkunstwerk — a collection of space travel modules impeccably replicated in everyday materials. The artist takes a clear joy in the work. In his role as mission commander, he orders an army of assistants to make repairs, give demonstrations, and answer any and all space travel-related questions. During the exhibition's preview, ARTINFO caught Sachs in a rare lull and pulled him into the heart of his Lunar Lander to talk about the functional details of his models, the scope of the installation, and his obsession with space.
