Word, 2008 Neon and electrical wires.

This piece is in an edition of four. One which I showed at the Scope Art Fair. I've never liked when I've seen neon pieces on plexi mounts but after having installed "Liberty St" at PS 122 without a mount, I've come to see why artists choose to mount them to plexi. The pieces are so fragile that it's best to keep them on a mount. It makes the install so much easier just two screws and it's up. It also helps when packing the work in a crate. "Word" is my take on "Five Words In Blue Neon" by 60's conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth. Don't ask me why I reference his work so much?
