In recognition of World AIDS Day (which takes place tomorrow, December 1), the NYC AIDS Memorial in conjunction with Jenny Holzer will host #LightTheFight.

Holzer – a New York based neo-conceptual artist – might be best known for her Protect Project exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art since it focuses on her work of more than a decade and a half.

At tomorrow’s event, Holzer will be starting the day with an interactive ceremony and performance beginning at 4.30am at the city’s AIDS Memorial Park, West Village.

Also featuring at the event will be Lewis Miller who was behind the creation of The Flower Flash.  He will be installing a Flower flash at the fountain tomorrow.

Following that, next on the agenda will see five trucks in a fleet coming with LED signs through the city displaying quotes related to how the world battles AIDS globally, and the impact it has had historically. These quotes have been taken from the emotional expression of various artists impacted by HIV and AIDS .
