These works open a dialogue between the physicality of objects and the immaterial properties of the light which they manipulate or project, examining how the corporeal can influence the ethereal. </p> <p>While pieces by Jones and Brittain incorporate generated light into the design itself, Benas Burdulis’s Optical Surfaces and Jonathan Muecke’s Mirror serve as lenses which manipulate the quality of surrounding ambient light. By contrast, Bureau Spectacular turns the Statue of Liberty into a conceptual neon light. These works provide new possibilities for projection and portrayal of light and encourage viewers to notice the variability and complexity of light’s properties that so often go unnoticed. </p> <p>The Midnight Special continues through August 26th. </p> <p>Well, you wake up in the mornin’, you hear the work bell ring<br /> And they march you to the table, you see the same old thing<br /> Ain’t no food upon the table and no pork up in the pan<br /> But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man</p> <p>Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a ever lovin’ light on me</p> <p>Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?<br /> By the way she wears her apron and the clothes she wore<br /> Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand<br /> She come to see the governor, she wants to free her man</p> <p>Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a ever lovin’ light on me</p> <p>If you’re ever in Houston, oh you better do the right<br /> You better not gamble and you better not fight<br /> Or the sheriff will grab you and the boys, will bring you down<br /> The next thing you know, boy, oh you’re prison bound</p> <p>Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a light on me<br /> Let the midnight special, shine a ever lovin’ light on me</p> <p>-Fogerty</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2017/07/the-midnight-special/">The Midnight Special</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://thevisualist.org/2017/07/the-midnight-special/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">69846</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
