iClap Illumination at Princeton Public Library
It began in the UK with an idea between artist Ian Berry and his 6-year-old son Elliott. “I Clap For” was a reaction to the clapping that took off around the world in the evenings during lock downs. Their response has now been projected all around the globe. Twenty international artists were invited to join the project, including Princeton artist Andre Veloux whose contribution was created from Lego. Veloux and artist Holly E. Brown, who also contributed a piece to the project, were both present during the illumination, the first presentation of the project in New Jersey.
The animated clapping hands were displayed on a continuous loop on the side of the library starting at dusk on July 23, 2020 and continued until 10 p.m. People dropped by to witness the illumination, meet the artists and join in the global clap for our front line workers.
