Artist Talk at the Hepworth Wakefield on 3/15

Mike Fleming and I will be giving an artist talk at the Hepworth Wakefield in the UK this Friday, March 15 at 3:30pm.

"In 2012 Wakefield's Neon Workshops invited American artists Alicia Eggert and Mike Fleming to bring their collaborative neon project to the UK and present it as a mobile venture to an unsuspecting audience around Yorkshire. In January 2013, Eggert and Fleming arrived in Wakefield, installed their poignant statement on the back of a hire van, sparked up the delicate gas-filled glass with a small generator and took to the road."

Eternity included in O'Clock exhibition at the CAFA Art Museum in Beijing

Eternity is included in the O'Clock. Time design, design time exhibition, which was originally held at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, and is on view at the CAFA Art Museum in Beijing until April 10.

"Compared to the display in Milan, the exhibition in Beijing includes an expanded, updated selection of works which take account of China’s newly emerging and already established design potential. A wide-ranging display of original site-specific works, installations, design objects, works of art and videos by international artists and designers seek to answer questions such as: “How is time measured?”, “How can passing time be shown?” and “How can time be experienced?”. All the works exhibited tackle subjects such as the passage of time, time’s evolution, and decay over time, in ways that are sometimes ironic, sometimes poetic, sometimes meditative and sometimes critical."
