NEW YORK.- The Times Square Alliance (Tim Tompkins, President) will unveil Things That Glow, a new art installation in the center of Times Square on Monday, November 6. Things that Glow, created by New York designer Stephen Doyle, is a series of panels celebrating natures most luminescent bodies, from the smallest glow-in-the-dark organisms to the brightest solar systems. The exhibit will be displayed around the Duffy Square construction site.
In a neighborhood known for its bright lights and flashy signs, it makes perfect sense for Times Square to host an exhibit which pays homage to things that blaze and bedazzle, says Tim Tompkins. Stephen Doyle has created something both clever and cheeky, reminding us that mankind didnt invent illumination.
Things That Glow consists of thirty 4 x 8 panels featuring bioluminescent fish and insects, planets and stars, fireflies, glowworms, lightning and the moon.
This exhibit is consistent with Times Squares identity as a center for world-class art, continues Tompkins. From our current Urban Forest Project which brings together close to 200 international artists to create unique one-of-a-kind banners displayed on banner poles throughout the neighborhood, to the upcoming cutting-edge redesign of Duffy Square, artists from around the world have realized that Times Square, with its rich past and its vibrant future, provides the perfect stage for a brand of creativity unlike anything else seen in the world.
Stephen Doyle is principal and creative director at Doyle Partners, a New York-based design studio. It has established an international reputation for creating communications programs and engaging design concepts implemented with discipline and imagination. Notable projects include branding, packaging and in-store presentation of Martha Stewart Everyday in Kmart (with over 2,500 package designs); a new identity program for Barnes & Noble, including store design, website design, marketing materials and collateral; and overhauling the identity for the global real estate firm Tishman Speyer.
