Opening Reception: Cultural Fusion: A Neon Installation Show
Cultural Fusion is an immersive neon installation exploring social issues, isolation, and human connection through light and humor. Artist Bill Myers, whose first installation was at Zone Art Center in 1995, brings his signature fusion of history, satire, and light to this striking exhibition. Inspired by Dante’s Inferno and The Twilight Zone, the show transforms installation art into a bold blend of critique and spectacle. Vivid neon environments invite viewers to navigate thought-provoking spaces, confronting inequality and shared experiences with both intensity and whimsy. This unforgettable showcase redefines social commentary through light, humor, and history. This show will run from March 23, 2025 - August 10, 2025.
