Neon Moon

The Hole presents Neon Moon, a group exhibition staged as a nocturnal environment of charged color, artificial light, and heightened atmosphere. We wanted to give Bowery a taste of key works from our Los Angeles program as that location fades into memory. Bringing together painting, neon and sculpture, the show explores how images behave after dark when things take a turn towards the cinematic and melancholy. The exhibition takes its title from the 1992 country song "Neon Moon," a meditation on loneliness, memory and the artificial glow of nightlife. That tonal register carries through the works on view, where light is something felt, absorbed and held onto. Rather than a survey, the exhibition functions as a distilled mood: night scenes, neon color, and a persistent tension between spectacle and solitude, seduction and distance as Los Angeles lingers in the background.
