Insights from Cerith Wyn Evans
Welsh artist Cerith Wyn Evans is known for many of his text-inspired works that intensify the readers’ visual and auditory experiences with materials like glowing neon tubes and burning wood. Though his selections are often short, their brevity and romanticism invites viewers to speculate the deeper meaning left behind in the context of a vast, empty, and isolating space.
My work is perceived as being romantic, but I'm not really sure what people mean by that. I think of romantic as wanting to die from a heroin overdose in a gutter outside the Chelsea Hotel. I don’t know what it means exactly. People who are soppy? People who like crying. People who would expire if love wasn’t returned? (x)
"The Unaccompanied Journey"
Danish artist Jeppe Hein is best known for his installation art pieces that interact with the spectators, making them participants instead of passive viewers. His neon lighting installations are confrontational, addressing viewers with "you" and/or demands, sometimes using mirrors to enhance the interactive experience.
