In 2010, Canadian installation artist Angela Bulloch (b. 1966) mimicked a night sky to shine above the altar at Basel's Münster cathedral. The installation was a hit in an short career of many hits for her works with sound and installation. Bulloch's piece reveals a wide "view" into the universe to the upward-gazing spectator, and what better place to gaze towards the sky than in a cathedral? At A&O, we are grateful today to Kianga Ellis who tweets @ModernChrist for introducing us to Angela Bulloch.
