Leo Villareal：达文波特菲格艺术博物馆的《星际穿越》

From September 21 through January 19, Davenport's Figge Art Museum will showcase Leo Villareal: Interstellar, featuring nine works from the light sculptor's Nebula series. Through custom software and LEDs, Villareal's sculptures generate a hypnotic, diffused light, inviting patrons into the realms of space, time, and perception. Each artwork boasts a unique sequence created through generative code, ensuring that no two sculptures are identical.

从 9 月 21 日到 1 月 19 日，达文波特的 Figge 艺术博物馆将展出 Leo Villareal：星际穿越，其中包括这位光雕塑家星云系列的九件作品。通过定制软件和 LED，Villareal 的雕塑产生催眠的漫射光线，邀请顾客进入空间、时间和感知的领域。每件艺术品都拥有通过生成代码创建的独特序列，确保没有两件雕塑是相同的。

The exhibition also includes selections from Villareal’s NFT (non-fungible token) series Cosmic Bloom, which reflects the ordered randomness found in nature, starting with simple geometric forms that evolve into complex, dynamic layers. These layers result from a blend of human control, engineering, and chance, highlighting the intersection of art and technology.

展览还包括 Villareal 的 NFT（不可替代代币）系列 Cosmic Bloom 的精选作品，它反映了自然界中发现的有序随机性，从简单的几何形式开始，演变成复杂的动态层。这些层次是人类控制、工程和机会融合的结果，突出了艺术与技术的交叉。

Renowned for his large-scale, site-specific light installations, Villareal is also creating Evanescent Field, a light sculpture which will illuminate the Figge Art Museum facade in 2025. Once completed, it will be the largest public artwork in Iowa. Among Villareal’s prominent works are The Bay Lights on San Francisco's Bay Bridge, Illuminated River in London, which connects nine bridges through a single artwork, and Multiverse, a volumetric installation connecting the East and West buildings of the National Gallery of Art.

Villareal 以其大型、特定地点的灯光装置而闻名，他还在创作《Evanescent Field》灯光雕塑，将于 2025 年照亮 Figge 艺术博物馆的外墙。建成后，它将成为爱荷华州最大的公共艺术品。 Villareal 的著名作品包括旧金山海湾大桥上的海湾灯光、伦敦的照明河（通过一件艺术品连接九座桥梁）以及连接国家美术馆东西部建筑的立体装置《多重宇宙》。

Villareal's work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Renwick Gallery and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, as well as in private collections.
