The Seattle Art Museum has some new bling on the NW corner
of 1st and Union! After a year in the making, Western
Neon is proud to announce its role in the newly unveiled MIRROR project by
artist Doug Aitken.
The MIRROR project consists of 2 large LED video
panels spanning half of the blocks on the 1st and Union sides of the
building. Western Neon provided the new stainless steel SAM
lettering, with mirror finishes to reflect the steady stream of Northwest
photography and video shot by the artist that captures the essence of our
everyday life here in the Emerald City and surrounding landscapes. The
SAM lettering is 8' tall, constructed of faceted polished steel panels to catch a
variety of light and reflections from different angles; edge illuminated
with hundreds feet of white LED lighting.
We encourage you to visit this
permanent exterior artwork - especially around dusk and into the evening
- to see what a fantastic edition this is to the neighborhood and the City
of Seattle!
