Visitors to Spaceport America in New Mexico are now greeted by Genesis, a new monumental sculpture at the entrance to the commercial spaceport. Created by artist Otto Rigan, the 40-foot-tall semi-circular metal sculpture mirrors the night sky over New Mexico with a pattern of glass “stars” whose arrangement is based on a night sky star chart. The sculpture was funded by New Mexico’s Art in Public Places Program. Spaceport America is presently home to Virgin Galactic and SpaceX.
