can’t you read the signs?
Artiste Florenza and I attended the Jenny Holzer exhibit at the Whitney. It was a series of LED sculptures that are visually fetching but can also be headache-inducing if you stay in the gallery too long.
Holzer works with words, words, words and most of them have a political bent to them. I sometimes grow weary when art tries to beat me over the head with a political agenda.
Stick with this video. The Whitney installation starts about :30 seconds in and it’s worth a look. Here's the link if you can't see it below.
Here are a few stills.

thanks for the link - i'm obsessed with solid state lighting (LEDs) for technical/ecological and artistic reasons. saw some amazing architectural lighting in Hong Kong on a massive scale. can't wait til i can build my light wall in the bar in my basement!
i'll skip the messages and just stick to pretty colors...
oh, and this was illuminating. *snort*
here's a link from the weekend NYTimes:

this stuff is for real! compact fluorescents are toxic. break one in a store and watch the haz mat team respond...
This is likely to be he only link between Ann Arbor, MI and Buckingham Palace!
One of those shots reminds me of O'Hare airport.
i would probably greatly enjoy this exhibit even more if i were 22 and still high on teh drugs.
but this now sober 35 year old geezer might still check it out.
