nice.
so true.
nice illustration..
sorry, thats a bad illustration.
i had a friend that worked at a neon sign company for a while, then i think he died.
bummer.
i don't think that "eat death" is a very clever play on words or spelling or thought at all.
IF it was too clever it would be ruined. I'm serious.
i guess, and i guess that neon signs have to be food related?
neon signs schmeon signs, the words are more important, or are the connotations of the words more important, or is the act of reading important, or are the repetion of change in the predominance of the words important, or are none of these important, or are the lack of important deciding factors in decifering the connections in this use of language unanalytically stable?

this is a very old piece from nauman, so this is an old argument - is it good or not.
i personally like his oral sex neon sign. and some of tracey emin's.
