Installation view: "Glow House #3" off site project for The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery. Toronto, 2005. Curated by Reid Sheir.
House, 40-50 television sets, coaxial cables, splitters & signal booster
Location: 323 Palmerston Ave, TorontoOne House & 40-50 television sets distributed throughout and all tuned to the same channel.
The small flicker of light emanating from each TV is then turned into a ‘pulse’ of light throughout the entire house. As the scenes change, from whatever television program is airing at the moment, the house flashes and pulses as all televisions are in sync with one another. Gives the eerie impressions that the entire house has been gutted to create one vast illuminated space. During commercials it is as if fireworks are going off inside...Glow House Poster Text: Dave Dyment. Commissioned by YYZ Artists Outlet & The Power Plant, 2005

Terry Grimley: "Kelly's Shining Example of Artistic Enterprise" Birmingham Post. April 2003When I did this version of Glow House in Toronto there was a musician living upstairs who lived with this piece for several weeks. She ended up writing a song called Glow House #3 in tribute to this work which she recently sent me. I think it's fantastic, I've put it up here with a link to her site... Thanks Christine!
