NOW ON VIEW: madder and madder and hotter and hotter, a New York Live Arts Ford Foundation Live Gallery exhibition co-presented with Queer|Art and Lite Brite Neon Studio. Featuring works by Jeffrey Gibson, Lola Flash, Demian DinéYazhi', Nelson Santos, Marie Watt, E.J. Hill, Ja’Tovia Gary, and Glenn Ligon, the show draws on feminist and trans legacies to speak to an urgent present. Surrounded by ephemera from Lite Brite Neon's studio, the luminous pieces cite historical icons from Marsha P. Johnson to the collective ACT UP, as well as pop cultural references and ancestral wisdom. Together, they interpellate queer subjects in a bright, warm shout. The show is on view at 219 W 19th St through September 5th, 2025.

The pieces below are available for purchase! To inquire about purchases/acquisitions, use the button below, or contact L Marmon (lmarmon@queer-art.org.) All proceeds benefit Queer|Art and Lite Brite Neon Studio, providing direct support to queer and trans artists across the country.

ABOUT LITE BRITE NEON STUDIO

Lite Brite Neon Studio is a queer trans-led collective of craftspeople that specializes in the production of neon art, display, luminous visual props and architectural lighting through a collaborative approach. They seek to transform and transmit the power of light art and display as a viable medium to convey the mystical truths that surround us in everyday life. Their work has graced the facade of the Venice Biennale; appeared on the cover of The New York Times, Artforum, and Print Magazine; in the windows of MoMA, Tiffany & Co., and Bergdorf Goodman; and can be found in museums, galleries, and other visual displays worldwide. They also serve as a resource for the preservation and restoration of historic neon art and displays for many private and public collections including the Dia Art Foundation, MoMA, and the Whitney Museum of Art.

Queer artists have long mobilized the evocative qualities of neon to shed light on overlooked narratives and expand their practice in innovative ways. 2024 QAM Mentor Demian DinéYazhi ́, 2019 QA Prize Finalist Ja’Tovia Gary, 2023 Illuminations Grant Judge Puppies Puppies (Jade Guanaro Kuriki-Olivo), 2011-2012 QAM Mentor Deb Kass, and 2023 Robert Giard Grant Judge Benjy Russell are just a few of the creatives pushing the medium’s boundaries. The Queer|Art Artist Edition seeks to continue this legacy of queer light-sculpting, all while raising funds for a positive cause.
