One and Three Joseph Kosuth







































Sara Hurley's new solo exhibition "Talking Concrete" is on at the 5th Base Gallery, 23 Heneage Street, London E1 5LJ , open to the public from 4th. October until 9th. October, 12.00pm to 6.00pm.

Sara is presenting a series of works including an installation inspired by the artist Joseph Kosuth and called "One and Three Joseph Kosuth", made from her imaginary drawings of Kosuth in neon and a series of recordings of face to face interviews with members of the public, looking for today's societal view on art.

The neon piece itself is made up of six sections of 15mm White ID glass with 30m/A electrodes and running on a 6000volt/25m/A transformer with open circuit protection.

James Franco's Neon Art

Here are a couple of pieces recently commissioned for James Franco's London gallery debut, Psycho Nacirema at Pace Gallery 6-10 Lexington Street, London W1F 0LB running from June 6th 2013 - July 27th 2013.


Based around Hitchcock's "Bates Motel", the exhibition has been curated by Turner prize-winning artist Douglas Gordon and includes a large scale video installation entwining Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic Psycho with the 1920's Fatty Arbuckle murder scandal.


The two neon pieces were made using 10mm White 1D with 8mm clear red for the word vacancy. 50 R 90 and 25 R 50 electrodes were used as well as three Hansen 20/3 convertors in each sign. The neon was then mounted onto the hand painted sign written boxes using clear coarse threaded tube supports and nickel wire.
