Takeover Recap: Lite Brite Neon
This Tuesday, Matt Dilling took over our Instagram feed to show us a day in the life at his Brooklyn based company, Lite Brite Neon. Here’s a recap of his posts throughout the day, in chronological order.
1. “#Goodmorning our #firstpost of the #litebriteneon @heypolynate #IGtakeover. 5:00AM time to let the #chickens out for the day and hop on the road to Brooklyn! Today we are relocating a colony of 30,000 #honeybees to our studio in #Gowanus from the #Catskills where the colony has been building up this spring. #More pictures soon.”
2. “#Morningmeeting @litebriteneon with our new #beecolony- which is housed in an observation colony passed along to us from a project we did for @guildisgood (thank you @beannnnns). Reviewing work for the day including the production of an exhibition copy of a work for an artist for @mcachicago, work for @bergdorfs, and @rocnation.”
3. “10:30AM #bendingneon for @bergdorfs – here our #neonmystro is bending some #15mm #8300Kwhite.”
4. “11:30AM catching up on #paperwork and #billpaying. #Balancingthebooks is often a #dailypractice in any small business. Sometimes it’s useful to have help in these matters with a #bookkeeper and #accountant – sometimes additional help is useful. Here #manjushri and #gravity are helping balance things out.”
5. “2pm working on a #glennligon neon sculpture here, based on the #1975 Muhammad Ali poem #mewe (which could also be found in the 1961 book #godoggo by #PDEastman).”
6. “4:15pm #dailydeliveries: @litebriteneon… Surprise package from our friends @riverheadbooks with a new amazing cover design of books by #ThíchNhấtHạnh and some #alltheworldsfutures #totebags from the@LaBiennalediVenezia as well as some #multiconductorcord and #blueprints.”
7. “#Goodnight @heypolynate viewers – we have enjoyed #posting #today from our #studio. It’s 8pm and we’re closing up shop for the night, but our #foragerbees are still bringing back #pollen, helping to #pollenate #Brooklyn. #Bzzzz.”
