Activated an alien probe?

From the show “Ken Grimes: The Truth Is Out There,’’ at the Ely Center of Contemporary Art, New Haven, through Jan. 14.

The gallery says:

{The work of New Haven-based} Grimes {born in 1947} “focuses on the question of extraterrestrial life, a topic he has been focused on for most of his life due to a series of coincidences which he interpreted as messages from aliens. Grime’s work has primarily been black and white and so his paintings demand careful consideration yet also play with fantasy, indeed making the viewer question the possibility of life out there.’’
