A highlight of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art’s 2007 grand opening was a pulsing lightwork by sculptor Leo Villareal.Permanently
installed on the underside of the museum’s cantilevered entrance, the
large grid of flashing, chasing, white LEDS continues to welcome
visitors with an overhead array of myriad, ever-changing patterns driven
by computer. Nerman director Bruce Hartman says the piece, titled “Microcosm,” has become “one of the museum’s most iconic works.”
