NEON LIGHTS

Renee Butler

Movement in B Flat
Screen, silk, mirror, wire triangles & circle, 2 video projections, sound and wooden armature
2005-06

"Butler’s piece is installation art to its fullest. Provided with an empty office space, she transformed the room into an oasis of color, form and sound. Butler merges what I’ll call representational video imagery (i.e. landscapes, signage, etc) and non-representational video imagery. The various objects hanging from the ceiling serve to illuminate the videos and reflect them to the walls. What results is a Flavin-esque work that uses the walls and surrounding environment as much, if not more, than the “art objects” hanging from the ceiling." (http://thinkingaboutart.blogs.com/)
