This neon light installation was very cool, and I found the message of the interchangeability of human and animal nature to be pretty intriguing. I took a few shots of it -- the illuminated parts were constantly rotating -- but I chose to upload the two that best represent the entire piece.

Forgot the artist... can anyone help?

1980
Vinyl letters

From the accompanying plaque:
"In 1968 Lawrence Weiner decided that the physical realization of his ideas was not a necessary condition of his art. A linguistic construction -- presented as a title in the form of a simple descriptive phrase on the wall -- seemed to the artist to be less vulnerable to change over time than an actual sculpture. This work, which describes a physical act of displacement as a metaphor for representation, and its title are thus one and the same."
