Georgetown Glow #4

On our last night in D.C., we were strolling in Georgetown and spotted three more installations in the Georgetown Glow 2018 exhibition. 

Today I Love You:  

Today I Love You by Massimo Uberti & Marco Pollice.  “A sentence excelling at splendid simplicity. A magical sentence, which seems to come from a beautiful dream you don’t yet want to wake up from.  The message has been fixed in time, making it possible for the visitor to enjoy the comforting words over and over again. but it also raises the question:  You might love me today, but what about tomorrow?”

Twilight Antiques and Thrift:  Below is one of the light installations being set up. 

The finished product was very interesting.   

Twilight Antiques & Thrift “pays homage to the many small businesses in Georgetown. The artists, Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky, have created a life-scale representation of an antique and thrift store in the form of a glowing lantern. Lining the shelves of this translucent shop are 500 hand-assembled lanterns--each a reproduction of an object that relates to Washington, DC, and can actually be found in Georgetown or part of the artists' collection. Each evening a lighting program will begin with the lanterns being lit one by one, as if being stocked by a ghostly shopkeeper, until the whole store is brightly lit. Once fully lit, each lantern will turn off, slowly extinguishing the store by the end of the evening. For the final night of GLOW on January 6, visitors will be welcomed into the store and allowed to select a free lantern to take home."

Below is a close up of the some of the antiques displayed in the windows.

When Greg was a kid, he remembers playing with the item pictured below, The Visible Man.  He remembers removing organs and replacing them in different locations.  It's probably a good thing he became an attorney instead of a physician.

Prismatic:  

Prismatic, by Hou de Sousa, "is a kaleidoscope of light, color, and space that frames a myriad of perspectives. The site-specific artwork is unique on all sides, encouraging the public to explore the exterior, as well as meander through its translucent interior. Iridescent cords weave between a lightweight steel lattice, producing a dynamic visual effect known as a moiré. As visitors turn their gaze or walk about the space, patterns in the background and foreground continuously converge and delaminate, resulting in the perception that static surfaces are somehow in motion."

Thanks for viewing Georgetown Glow 2018 with us.  

P.S.  Also during our stroll, we passed by the Four Seasons Hotel, which had its own lighted art exhibition.  Check it out.
