The Electric Light Fountain, a 35-foot tall light sculpture by Tim Noble and Sue Wesbster is currently spewing a spectacular spray of illumination (where only two months ago the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree once stood).
Writes the New York Times: Ms. Webster and Mr. Noble, who have lived and worked together since
they were art students in the late 1980s, delight in such kitsch. Over
the years they have gained an international following for creating
illuminated signs in shapes like hearts and dollar signs or with words
like “Forever” and “Yes.” They are also known for creating assemblages
and kinetic sculptural installations from found objects, often
projecting silhouettes of themselves on a nearby wall. (“Polymorphous
Preverse,” a kinetic sculptural installation that was shown last fall
at the Freud Museum in London, will go on view on Feb. 29 at Deitch
Projects in SoHo.)
