Cleveland artist Jeff Chiplis is headed to the Czech Republic to build recyclable neon sculptures. He is traveling at the invitation of Czech artist Vladimir Merta, who recently completed a residency at SPACES Gallery. Chiplis will attend a conference and be in residence for 4 weeks with accomodations, studio space and an assistant, then will be taking in the culture of the region and will "set about on a mystery tour of Europe" for 2 more weeks. Chiplis' neon work can be seen around Cleveland, and at http://www.agentofchaos.com/chiplis
