The Salon Electric is an exhibition hosted at the State Library of Queensland that celebrates neon signs in Queensland and the Asia Pacific, including the process of making neon, its relationship to night life subculture and its latterday resurgence in contemporary art and design.
It features historical neon signs from the private collection of Michael Blazek, as well photographs and ephemera from the State Library of Queesland archives and City of Gold Coast Local Studies Library.
For this exhibition, I was responsible for collating the content of the exhibition, arranging its display and developing supplementary programming. I was also responsible for designing the visual identity for print and digital use and for writing digital content for Design Online.
The exhibition was open from 25 August 2017 to 11 February 2018 in the Asia Pacific Design Library, level 2, State Library, Stanley Place, South Bank.
