For his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, and his first in New York City since 2007, Leo Villareal will bring “Volume” to Gering & López Gallery with an opening reception on Wednesday, May 4th. Over 20,000 white LED nodes are suspended in a three-dimensional matrix of mirror-finished stainless steel. Its cylindrical form is at once dense and ephemeral, as it shimmers and oscillates between dimensions. Controlled by software code that the artist developed over an extensive period of time, like a composer working over a score, the nodes cycle through a seemingly infinite series of patterns and movements, fast and slow, bright and dark. The piece is a dazzling tone poem that draws the viewer into a deep, abstract space as it warps temporal and visual perception.
