"ToutenFluo et phospho" was an exhibition
of the Fluorescent Artwork of Michele Delage and Nick Padalino in Geneva,
Switzerland. The show was
in the Art Gallery "Les Allumes" in Carouge, an artist's district of Geneva,
from Feb. 1-26, 2000.
The opening was a special multi-media
event with the combination of the exhibition, which is two rooms with twenty-seven
pieces of Fluorescent Art in the
forms of paintings, sculptures/environments, and mobiles displayed under
nine
Black lights (U.V.), along with
a demonstration of Fluorescent Minerals given in Long Wave and Short Wave
Ultraviolet, a
continuous video presentation of
"Electric Lady" Art Gallery and "Electric Ladyland - the First Museum of
Fluorescent Art"
in Amsterdam, and finally, a three-hour
session of live painting on a large cotton mural,
that was hand-sprayed on the floor
under the Black lights.
