To Exalt the Ephemeral: The (Im)permanent Collection draws from BAMPFA’s art and film collections to explore how museums collect, care for, and amplify the work of artists who celebrate ideas of impermanence and cycles of decay and regeneration. The exhibition is inspired by the rich history of experimentation, performance, and non-object-based artistic practices in BAMPFA’s exhibition program, as well as the many conceptual projects, scores, ephemera, and works with alternative art making materials and techniques in the museum’s collections. The exhibition explores how institutions can embrace the work of artists who not only acknowledge, but also exalt the inevitability of impermanence, creating artworks with organic and non-archival materials and without the intention for them to last forever. To Exalt the Ephemeral provides an opportunity to showcase key histories and works in the collection by artists across generations and disciplines.

Nicelle Beauchene Gallery is pleased to present Here Everywhere, a solo exhibition with Bay Area artist Lucy Puls, her second at the gallery. Showcasing selected works from 1989 to 2003, Here Everywhere
highlights Puls’ unique and overlooked approach to materials and form, surveying her early experiments in making sculptures with found objects, wax, and resin.
December 3, 2023 - January 21, 2024
Opening Reception: Sunday Dec 3, 2-5pm. Beverages & music generously provided by Village
Featuring works by: Rebeca Bollinger Conrad Guevara, Kendall Henderson, Bessie Kunath Megan Mueller Amy Nathan, Gay Outlaw Helia Pouyanfar, and Lucy Puls.
Personal Space is pleased to present its third exhibition, Apostrophe. Drawing inspiration from the title’s connotations of fragmenting and condensing language, as well as its suggestion of possession, the nine artists presented here collect traces of memory. Their poetic, and often mysterious, tendencies capture fragments to suggest a whole, rendering and recording aspects of human vulnerability, identity, and intimacy through a mix of photography, sculpture, painting, and collage. In doing so, these works act as open-ended observations that prioritize the absence of a subject, inviting the viewer to complete the story.
The exhibition includes two commissioned works as part of Personal Space’s ongoing New Works series: a poem by Mihee Kim and the gallery’s rotating exterior sign space by Amy Nathan.
December 9, 2021 to January 22, 2022
Nicelle Beauchene Gallery is pleased to present Offline Perception, the gallery’s first exhibition with Berkeley-based artist Lucy Puls. Offline Perception gathers three bodies of work that Puls has been developing over the past decade: Geometria Concretus (2011-2015), Accumulatus Verissime (2016- ongoing), and Delapsus (2017-ongoing), all of which are on view in New York for the first time.
Nicelle Beauchene Gallery is excited to announce representation of Berkeley-based artist Lucy Puls. The gallery will present work by Puls in June 2021 on OVR: Portals, Art Basel’s first curator-led edition of Online Viewing Rooms, followed by a solo exhibition at the gallery in December 2021.

P.Bibeau is proud to present '1989', a first one-person New York presentation for Lucy Puls, featuring five sculptures from 1989.
While living in Northern California, Lucy Puls created these five sculptures within one year's time. These works, unseen for 31 years, construct the groundwork for what became the impetus for Puls's later sculptural forms cast in resin.
Using familiar material objects taken out of circulation by way of disposability or expiration (glass jar, discarded self-help books, softballs, patterned paper towels, her own worn out clothing), Puls intended to 'transform the object into an idea' with the use of wax, resin, and dead insects. These sculptures worked to reframe the social construction of the time into a 3D form composed of abandoned objects, organic binding substrates and biological matter.

Lucy Puls: Turbatus (Solid, Liquid, Body, Mind), live stream date September 17, 2020
HARD LIGHT invites artists to focus on themes of material intervention and “zoomed in” points of view to question what forms can emerge or disappear in the intimate space between an artist and a thing. Live streaming and lens-based technology will be used to expand vision and space - to see and understand the relationship between the body and material in a new way.
