Gillian Fitzpatrick

Gillian Fitzpatrick is an artist working across a wide variety of media. The history of space exploration and science fiction television and films have been strongest influences on her work.

In 2012 she founded The Dublin 8 Space Program, its first mission being to visit the locations where Apollo astronauts trained in Iceland and plant a flag there. She has also organized art events to mark both the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the first Moon landing in 1969. The latter, in 2019, brought together a diverse range of artists working in many different media.
