• ... that one reporter described Aerodynamic Forms in Space as "a model airplane sent through a malfunctioning transporter from Star Trek"? Source: "Graham has created a sculpture that resembles a model airplane sent through a malfunctioning transporter from Star Trek." [1]
  • ALT1: ... that when creating Aerodynamic Forms in Space in 2010, Rodney Graham was inspired by photographs of misassembled toy model gliders he took in 1977? Source: "It arose, instead, from a work created in 1977, in the earliest years of his career. "I made a series of photographs of little sculptures made out of glider parts, assembled in different ways." [2]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Z1720: Nice job! No issues with ALT0, which is the one I prefer. (Though should Star Trek be italicized?) For ALT1, the hook says "misassembled" while the article says "reassembled". Those convey slightly different things to me – I can see how either could work based on the source, but I would suggest making the hook and article consistent.

• @DanCherek: I have italicized Star Trek. I changed reassembled as the sources mention him putting the gliders together incorrectly, but not disassembling them first; misassembled is probably more accurate. Z1720 (talk) 15:29, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Looks ready to me! Both hooks are good to go. Thanks, DanCherek (talk) 15:38, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
