COMING TO WINNIPEG!
IN THE GLOW
October21to December31
Thinking outside the box is what makes In the Glow so extraordinary. Neon tubes travel beyond their frames in many signs, expanding one’s focus far from mundane. How does this spectrum of light come about? The 200 different possible colors that stem from neon art are each affected of only three things: neon gas, glass tubing, and phosphor. In the Glow sheds light on the history and uses of the Noble gases, lighting innovations, technologies and what the future may hold for neon. Explore it at the Manitoba Museum from October 21– December 31, 2010. www.manitobamuseum.ca
