Text supplied by Roisin Byrne: "On the 4th of December 2009 the artist R. Byrne placed an order for a neon sign to be displayed at all times turned off. On hearing that she was in fact the second artist that week to order a neon to be displayed turned off and Ryan Gander the first, she ordered his instead. After using it to advertise Byrne’s solo show Gander complained to the gallery. Byrne’s show was pulled and Gander now states the work is not his. Approx 1 metre of red and yellow neon tubing, 6 metres of cable, 1 transformer, clear plexiglass, email correspondense."
