In January this year, Eggert and Fleming arrived in Wakefield, installed their poignant statement on the back of a hire van, sparked up the delicate gas-filled glass with a small generator and took to the road.</p> <p><a href="http://www.neonworkshops.com/shop_books.htm" target="_blank">Book available here.</a></p>http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/46332660158http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/46332660158Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:38:32 -0400neon workshopsneonneonworkshopsalicia eggertmike flemingneonartlightartsculpturewakefieldleedsyorkshire<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_melr4snYDh1rxh0a1o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_melr4snYDh1rxh0a1o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_melr4snYDh1rxh0a1o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_melr4snYDh1rxh0a1o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://futuredodo.tumblr.com/post/37324342857/richard-wheater-and-victoria-lucas-12-months-of">futuredodo</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Richard Wheater and Victoria Lucas, <a href="http://12monthsofneonlove.blog.com/">12 Months of Neon Love</a></p> </blockquote>http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/37338306996http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/37338306996Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:53:29 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mctibyKlT81r5mzndo5_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mctibyKlT81r5mzndo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mctibyKlT81r5mzndo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Peter Saville /</strong><br/><strong>Wheater & Bickerstaff</strong><br/><strong>26.09 - 03.10.2012</strong> </p> <p>Celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the first neon light installed in a Parisian barbers, Neon Workshops showcased work by Wheater & Bickerstaff and graphic designer Peter Saville.</p> <p>Wheater & Bickerstaff collaborated to produce a significant wall mounted poem relating to the medium in which the work is rendered. Peter Saville has had a life long fascination with neon and welcomed the opportunity to support Neon Workshops with their latest workshop <em>Cent ans de Néon</em>. PEOPLE LIKE NEON is spelt out in simple Arial font capitals, each letter represented in a colour of the spectrum blue to red, and the work was also used to create a commemorative limited edition poster of the workshop. Saville is famous for his involvement with Factory Records and the legendary music venue The Haçienda, and known widely for his extraordinary record sleeve design used for Joy Division’s 1979 debut album Unknown Pleasures.</p>http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/34766032960http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/34766032960Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:40:00 -0400neonworkshopsneonlightartsculpturepeter savillerichard william wheater<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8nebGPvZ1r5mzndo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Come this way...<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8nebGPvZ1r5mzndo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8nebGPvZ1r5mzndo5_500.jpg"/><br/> Having a dunk in Stringers homemade hottub!<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8nebGPvZ1r5mzndo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8nebGPvZ1r5mzndo9_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> The specially designed swimwear for those brave enough to get in the hottub!<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8nebGPvZ1r5mzndo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8nebGPvZ1r5mzndo2_500.jpg"/><br/> The machine designed and built by Stringer to create the sequins for the shimmering background of his 'Coke' sign.<br/><br/> <p><strong>Cattle Brands<br/></strong><strong>Henry Stringer<br/></strong><strong>25.07 - 15.09.2012</strong></p> <p><span class="style4"><em>“If you are not a brand, you are a commodity.” - Philip Kotler</em></span></p> <p><span class="style4">In this exhibition Stringer developed two angles associated with the title Cattle Brands. In the gallery we see actual brand motifs from ten American cattle ranches, chosen at random and reproduced by the artist in Neon gas filled glass. Outside on the roof, Stringer has chosen one of the world’s most recognisable companies to construct what appears to be a traditional sign, but using salvaged materials. Whilst both ventures celebrate human skill in making and control over material, the concept is arguably less positive where the methods of control over cattle and that of fellow humans become blurred.</span></p>http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/31400343147http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/31400343147Wed, 12 Sep 2012 10:42:23 -0400Henry Stringerartbrandsexhibitionhottubneonneon lightsneonworkshopswakefieldcattle brands<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m82n3p1Qon1r5mzndo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m82n3p1Qon1r5mzndo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m82n3p1Qon1r5mzndo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Sirens<br/>Richard WIlliam Wheater<br/>30.05 - 14.07.12</p> <p>New silkscreen prints based on a continuing theme by Richard William Wheater. </p>http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/28477250784http://neonworkshops.tumblr.com/post/28477250784Wed, 01 Aug 2012 06:14:00 -0400Richard William Wheaterneonworkshopssilkscreenprintssirens<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6by5t6x8V1r5mzndo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6by5t6x8V1r5mzndo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6by5t6x8V1r5mzndo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6by5t6x8V1r5mzndo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6by5t6x8V1r5mzndo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Visible Words</strong><br/><strong>From</strong><br/><strong>Invisible People</strong></p> <p><strong><br/></strong>Pictures taken during the making of the neon pieces.
