Protections, curated by Adam Budak and Christine Peters, Kunsthaus Graz, Graz, Austria, 2006
Neon sculpture
2’x30'
Two neon signs are superimposed one upon the other. One in green says “Resistance is Fertile” while another one in red says “Resistance is Futile”. When one sign is lit, the other statement is quiescent. The work functions as an ironic slogan in the midst of other lit textual signs and marquees aiming at selling goods and communicating political and social gestures.
