The Long Now Foundation is presenting interdisciplinary artist Alicia Eggert’s neon sculpture This Present Moment, with an opening party on Friday November 4, 2022 for the sign’s exhibition in partnership with Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Eggert’s inspiration is drawn from physics and philosophy, and her sculptures often co-opt the styles and structures of commercial signage to communicate messages that inspire reflection and wonder.
The public is invited to join from 7:00pm; the cash bar will be going on inside Gallery 308 and the penultimate Off The Grid will be running right outside until 10:00pm!
The neon sculpture adapting the words of Stewart Brand will be on display at Fort Mason Center from November 2022 to February 2023
Alicia Eggert’s work gives material form to language and time, powerful but invisible forces that shape our perception of reality. Her creative practice is motivated by an existential pursuit to understand the linear and finite nature of human life within a seemingly infinite universe. Eggert’s artworks have been installed on building rooftops in Russia, on bridges in Amsterdam, and on uninhabited islands in Maine, beckoning us to ponder our place in the world and the role we play in it. Eggert is an Associate Professor of Studio Art and the Sculpture Program Coordinator at the University of North Texas.
Following the opening party, Long Now’s public exhibition of This Present Moment will be in Building B at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco from November 02022 through February 02023. We hope that you can visit Fort Mason Center and contemplate the Big Here and the Long Now through Alicia Eggert’s work.
