I would like to draw list members attention to an exhibition currently running in the National Photographic Archive, Dublin: 'On Neon: electric signs from modern Ireland.' The exhibition comprises 3 main sections: What is neon (an investigation of the techical aspects of neon lighting); Signs of the Times (about the use of neon in the USA in the 1920s and '30s) and Neon in Ireland (based on material from a sign manufacturers archive). The material in the exhibition includes neon signs, photographs, blueprints and promotional material.
It runs until March 23
