Location: Museum Entryway (Floor 1)
Neon artists Meryl Pataky and Kelsey Issel bend glass to its limits in this year’s edition of The Rockwell Museum’s Antigravity installation. A site-specific work of art created for the Museum’s rotunda, Pataky and Issel, founders of the neon workers collective, She Bends, True Gravity references textiles and investigates the idea of “true gravity:” a condition in which the body yields to what the material and the environment already intend. Working within tensions of hard and soft, control and happenstance, and isolation and interdependence, Pataky and Issel’s sculptural neon invites the viewer to rethink the potential of glass and light.
