It is the hope of this series to create focused and thoughtful dialogues between the visual arts and authors, critics, poets, peers, scholars, and beyond. In this iteration, the Spotlight features a new sculpture by Hank Willis Thomas and a text by Ashley James, Ph.D., Curator of Contemporary Art at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY.

Ugo Rondinone ’s neon works are among the Swiss artist’s most recognizable and celebrated, acting as vibrant, large-scale linguistic interventions in public and gallery spaces. Since creating his first neon rainbow sculpture in 1997, Rondinone has utilized rainbow-hued text installations to cast optimistic, poetic, and joyous exclamations into everyday environments. FLAG’s reinstallation of Love Invents Us , 1999, serves as a love letter to its neighbors, only viewable from the surrounding streets and buildings of Chelsea.
