Press Release
The Neon Heater presents (URC :: Utopian Recruitment Center), a participatory installation by
the Utopian Megapraxis Collective exploring the performative actions and aesthetics of a
speculative para-real corporation envisioning a global Utopia.
The Neon Heater is a contemporary artist-run gallery in Findlay, OH. Founded by curator and educator Ian Breidenbach, it opened in November of 2012 as a space providing access to contemporary art in a rural setting, while simultaneously offering artists total freedom and space for the exploration of ideas outside of the commercial concerns of the larger art world. The gallery has monthly exhibitions with a curatorial focus on conceptual and installation-based works, contemporary photography and painting trends, video and new media. The Neon Heater has since its inception hosted and engaged in various curatorial and research projects aimed at connecting with and drawing attention to the larger Artist-Run community both within the state of Ohio and around the United States.
