Spacemonkeys on Mars: a Condensed Version an installation by Elizabeth Zvonar March 9th — 14th, 2001 Media Gallery, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design “Artist Statement" : = Spacemonkeys on Mars consists of 100 dolls separated into two species: The ‘Spacemonkeys' and the ‘Agents of Higher Learning.’ The Spacemonkeys are making clouds on Mars. They have an ideal job sit- uation whereby they make fluffy clouds whilst having the freedom to. dress in whatever they choose and they can relax and socialize — amongst each other. There are Guardian Spacemonkeys that are wearing armor and watch over the Worker Spacemonkeys. They protect the Hear No Evil, See No Evil, and Speak No Evil monkeys that they surround. Six of the guardians are breathing red carnations down to the Agents of Higher Learning. The Agents of Higher Learning wear silver suits and inspect en masse what they are given by the Spacemonkeys to learn from. This week they are observing intently three Pocket Puppies wearing bows. There is one Agent in the left corner laying blue gumballs on a pyre and holding a bouquet of flowers.
