backstory: Glow

Last week, I wrote about Stephen Antonakos’s neon sculpture Proscenium and how it is serving as a frame for so many meaningful experiences in the Museum. 

This week, the space has continued to come alive through the presence of our visitors: students from the Conservatory of Dance performed within it. Former students, returning home for Alumni Weekend, were illuminated in the space as they laughed and reconnected. And today, young artists from the campus’s Children’s Center gathered beneath its lights to create glowing sculptures of their own.

Brilliant and immersive, Proscenium reflects what the Neuberger is at its core: a home for reflection, rediscovery, and belonging—a place where art is not only seen but felt, shared, and lived.
