Points Of View by Peter Beyls
![Points Of View by Peter Beyls.](http://www.light-4u.com/news-events/galleries/heimbold-gallery/peter.jpg)
艺术家彼得Beyls认为宇宙是一个giant generative system revealing systemic behavior on numerous levels: from the unpredictable dynamics exposed in social structures to emergent functionality in the human brain to molecular interaction in cloud formations. In addition, much of his work develops from a fascination with complex dynamic behavior in found systems’ as observed both in nature and in products of human imagination. Such systems typically expose a particular identity while still offering boundless diversity within a given morphological scope. Beyls writes software that captures tiny aspects of human creativity and imagination to produce series of generative drawings as well as interactive audiovisual installations. A deep concern with the external attributes – the affective and materialist parameters of how the viewer engages with the work through embodied commitment – is key to his approach.https://www.peterbeyls.net

Dawn WilliamsBoyd
![Boyd Print](http://www.light-4u.com/news-events/galleries/heimbold-gallery/boyd-print-sept.jpg)
September 21 - December 4, 2022
Dawn Williams Boyd’s "cloth paintings" sheer size adds to their larger-than-life, often brutal subject matter. This exhibition is a collection of works that reflect a lifelong critique of social injustices and racial violence, epic battles with misogyny, and physical and psychological abuses of power. There is no such thing as neutral history. Using scraps of fabric, needles, and thread as her tools, Boyd painstakingly “paints” the entire surface of her quilts, layer upon layer, cutting, sewing, endlessly repurposing, building the surface into a formidable, authoritative source.
Yevgeniya Baras and PeteSchulte
![Yevgeniya Baras and Pete Schulte](http://www.light-4u.com/news-events/galleries/heimbold-gallery/artist2.jpg)
March 25 - June 5, 2022
Yevgeniya Baras and Pete Schulteis a joint effort between two artists that encapsulates the power of communication through art alone. The works assembled within the exhibition are vastly different, in size and medium, but have the startling power to communicate with each other. All untitled, the assembled works introduce an unspoken dialogue between both the artists and the pieces alike. Schulte’s preferred mediums of graphite, pigment, and paper contrast Baras’ loud expression of color, allowing for a unique narrative to develop.
Audience/Camera/Performer: Curated by CliffordOwens
![Audience/Camera/Performer](http://www.light-4u.com/news-events/galleries/heimbold-gallery/brown-rashayla-marie-880-hero.jpg)
November 29, 2021 – February 20, 2022
观众/相机/表演者组装五个艺术家;Rashayla Marie Brown, Kris Grey, Seung-Min Lee, Wanda Raimundi Ortiz, and Elliot Reed, who explore new approaches to lens-based, audience-sensitive performance art. The title of the exhibition is borrowed from Dan Graham’s influential performance cum-video Performance/Audience/Mirror (1975), in which the artist observes his audience (and vice-versa) reflected in a large mirror.
New Affiliates: Granite andRainbows
![New Affiliates: Granite and Rainbows](http://www.light-4u.com/media/news-events/events/granite-and-rainbows.jpg)
September 16 – October 24, 2021
Granite is as flexible in its use as it is hard in its form. It’s everywhere! From monuments to memorials, skyscrapers to kitchens—it is ground, wall, skin and foundation all at once. We think of granite when we think of tombstones just as we think of it when we think of countertops. Honed, it shines bright like wealth and 20th century finance. Rough, it registers as rusticated, old, stoic, and stately. Granite is made heavy by cultural value and expectation. It oscillates from two dimensional surface to three-dimensional form, from painting to sculpture.
Dan Hurlin: Saved fromDrowning
![Edwards Island, Dan Hurlin](http://www.light-4u.com/media/news-events/events/hurlin-dan-edwards-landscape.jpg)
March 22 – June 6, 2021
“In Donald Barthelme’s seminal 1968Robert Kennedy Saved from Drowning, a narrator suddenly appears out of nowhere in the very last section of the short story and throws a rope out to the main character ‘K,’ who is close to being pulled under in a turbulent sea. With one end of the rope around his waist, the narrator braces himself against a rock and pulls ‘K’ out of the water, saving him from drowning.
“Like the narrator, I have spent my career as an artist dragging narratives to the shore, rescuing them from oblivion – saving them from being drowned in an ocean of both cultural and personal amnesia.”—Dan Hurlin
Andrew Ross: Buildings on a Mushroom-ShapedIsland
![Sculpture](http://www.light-4u.com/media/news-events/events/ross-andrew-buildings-mushroom-island.jpg)
November 12, 2020 – February 14, 2021
Andrew Ross is a visual artist who centers his work around failing. signifiers and decontextualized images. His practice questions the steadfastness of caricatures, symbols, and products of mass distribution on a runaway timescale of plastic and other non-biodegradable substrates. Ross makes sculpture, drawings and digital prints in homage to the ingenuity of diaspora communities in reframing and repurposing fragments of the post-colonial landscape. He uses reverse engineering as a framework to drive his studio, clashing technologies associated with specific products with seemingly unrelated imagery or forms. Ross’s works are uncanny and familiar although their references are heavily abstracted and deconstructed.
Gary Burnley: FacingHistory
![Artwork from Gary Burnley](http://www.light-4u.com/media/news-events/events/burnley-facing-history.jpg)
September 14 – October 18, 2020
Gary Burnley’s work inFacing Historyexplores dialogues between standard, but often opposing, representations of beauty, desire, influence and identity. Examining meaning through contrast, the physical collages and stereographic devices Burnley creates encourage dissociated images to merge and consolidate in the eye and mind of the viewer. Resulting in a union of optical rivalries, his amalgamations imagine strange bedfellows congruent for moments in time, space and reason.
Kenneth Tam: GlassCeiling
![Poconos Frat House, artwork](http://www.light-4u.com/news-events/events/poconos-frat-house.jpg)
January 21 – February 23
Kenneth Tam is a Brooklyn-based artist born in Queens, NY. His work often takes the form of video and sculpture and it's interested in reimagining the spaces and rituals that inform ideas about the male body and its performance. The work looks at ways in which hegemonic and normative forms of male subjectivity can be rearticulated to reveal spaces of intimacy vulnerability and even loss.
Tishan Hsu: SelectedWorks
![Interface Blue, artwork](http://www.light-4u.com/news-events/events/interface-blue.jpg)
November 12 - December 8, 2019
Tishan Hsuis an artist whose practice has attempted to convey an embodied technology. Hsu’s interest in technology has not been in the use of a particular apparatus but the perception of a technological affect. His work has included paintings, digital media projections and sculpture.
Ann Toebbe: SwingState
![Artwork](http://www.light-4u.com/news-events/galleries/heimbold-gallery/past-exhibits/work6.jpg)
September 10 - October 13, 2019
How much of our lives, past and present, have we imbued in the spaces we live in? InSwing State, Ann Toebbe takes a personal look at this question from capturing her relatives’ midwestern homes to her mother’s collection of German Hummels. Swing states are in constant flux, which is a feeling Toebbe relates to as she enters the middle of her life. Where do we go from here and where have we been?
