Every night this month, at 11:57 pm, Time Square in New York will be lit up with work from Tracey Emin. The English artist’s iconic “neon” messages will spell themselves out over three minutes, digitally animated (which can be purchased as s[edition]) on 40 screens of different sizes placed all around the famous intersection in Midtown Manhattan. The lent time is made possible through the Times Square Advertising Coalition, which which last May began giving several minutes a day to the Times Square Alliance for late-night public-art projects. For art lovers in the Big Apple, this project from Emin is the perfect way to spend some romantic time with your loved one – maybe on Valentine’s night?
