Custard Factory Gallery, Birmingham
An exhibition based on the 60s Star Trek episode Assignment: Earth. This featured an agent called Gary Seven, his intelligent cat and assistant Roberta. It was designed to be a spin off series, but never made it. a.a.s. imagined that it had in fact continued to be a popular series and created a documentary of people reminiscing about it as well as posters and adverts of the star’s career. They also created an entrance to the exhibition based on the teleportation device seen in the episode.
