Hello Lightning Tamers!
â Percy here! I’m excited about the exhibition at the @pghglasscenter Light in Transmission: a Neon and Plasma Light Exhibition! As an artist, I chose those who had impacted my creative process, education, and expanded my world view on the nearly unlimited potential of neon and plasma light as artistic medium. As a curator, the people I invited present expressions of light, within a variety of shared and differing experiences, skills, and techniques. Check out this article written by Tyler Dague for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette featuring LIT: Light in Transmission! This show opened Feb 5th, and will be up through May 9th. We had a virtual opening on Feb 5th, which you may view on the Pittsburgh Glass Center’s facebook page. Music: Where we from – @gravezmusic |
Light in Transmision, curated by Percy Echols II, is a survey of the diverse range of light art within the shared medium of neon of both neon and plasma sculpture. Percy Echols II is an artist, creator of the podcast “Taming Lightning” and PGC’s first recipient of the Ron Desmett Memorial Award for Imagination with Glass. Funded by The Fisher Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation and The Heinz Endowments, this exhibition features the works of 14 artists whom I’ve met since moving to Pittsburgh in the last four years.
Hours: Tues-Thurs 1pm-7pm, Sat 10am-4pm
