Step through the gallery doors and the dark doesnโ€™t feel empty. It feels charged. A thin blue line traces the ceiling like a thought you canโ€™t quite catch. A single wordโ€”"๐’๐“๐€๐˜"โ€”buzzes in hot pink against raw concrete. This is Current, an exhibit of neon art, and itโ€™s not here to hang quietly on a wall. Itโ€™s here to run through
Light behaves differently in this room. Neon doesnโ€™t sit on a surface. It dyes the air. Stand near Pulse by ๐‘๐€๐Œ๐‚๐Ž๐’ ๐๐”๐‹๐”๐ƒ and your skin turns violet. The wall behind you isnโ€™t white anymore. The people across the room become silhouettes edged in cyan. You are not looking at the art. You are inside it. Thatโ€™s the first thing neon teaches: light is not neutral. It chooses you as much as you choose it.

Current is about voltage in every sense: electrical, emotional, cultural. Neon lives in the collective memory of night. Itโ€™s road trips and last calls and the first time you saw your city from the freeway. The artists here borrow that nostalgia and reroute it. A sign that should point to a casino instead reads โ€œARE YOU LONELY TOO?โ€ The seduction is still there. But the transaction changed. Itโ€™s no longer selling you something. Itโ€™s asking you something.
In a world of flat screens and infinite scroll, thereโ€™s a stubbornness to neon. You canโ€™t screenshot the way it fills a room. Your phone flattens the glow, kills the buzz, misses the heat. It has to be experienced with a body. You have to stand in the hum and let your eyes adjust.
