Aspex Gallery
More recently, Aspex was instrumental in bringing Heather & Ivan Morison's 'Luna Park' to Portsmouth in August 2010, in conjunction with Chapter, Cardiff, firstsite, Colchester and Safle. Part of the installation included a 53 foot recreation of an Ultrasauros on Southsea Common. The Ultrasauros was a dinosaur 'discovered' by the palaeontologist James A. Jensen in the 1970s. He claimed the set of giant bones that belonged to the largest dinosaur that ever lived. More than a decade later, however, it was revealed that his discovery was in fact a chimera, composed of bones from two different brachiosaur-type species.
