Lyn Godley’s animated LED art is one of the must-sees on Philly’s gallery circuit this month

Lyn Godley used to be half of the design company Godley-Schwan, along with Lloyd Schwan, who died in 2001. The Crinkle Lamp, their last collaborative piece, is part of the permanent collection at both the Museum of Modern Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Godley has continued her exploration of light as an artistic medium, and the Hot Bed gallery (an offshoot of the James Oliver Gallery, in the same Chestnut Street building) is now showing her latest work, which animates programmable LEDs.
