Artist Talk: Alicia Eggert

Sculpting words the way other artists sculpt clay, wood or stone, artist Alicia Eggert considers language and time to be her mediums. For her neon work This Present Moment, 2019-2022, on exhibit at the Manetti Shrem Museum’s Events Plaza, Eggert plays with our experience of time, using the effects of neon signage to turn writer Stewart Brand’s phrase “This present moment used to be the unimaginable future” into the simpler phrase “This moment used to be the future.”

Meet the artist, learn about her body of work and her process, and share your response to This Present Moment at this artist talk.
