Abstract
For the consumption as well as the production of art, the feeling of microgravity is expected to be an as yet unknown generator of human creativity. It is proposed that an art module, named “MICHELANGELO”, be added to the International Space Station (ISS) after the technically designated elements are completely assembled and the operational activities have bgun. This module would be equipped with nothing but its life support systems; no racks or other equipment should disturb the available space within it. Its utilization would be completely devoted to art activities. For its realization private investors could choose between several different possibilities.
