FLOW | OBSTRUCTION: Process.Dialogue.Inquiry

The Arts Council for Long Beach envisions a thriving Long Beach that benefits from universal access to and participation in the arts.

Arts Council for Long Beach

Flow I Obstruction: process.dialogue.inquiry opens on June 8 from 6 –9 p.m. at The Collaborative Gallery at 421 Gallery. The exhibition is curated by Arts Council for Long Beach CAP committee member Carolyn Schutten with Sayon Syprasoeuth. They invited artists to unfold their process in real time and engage in a deep collective inquiry of the intersections between Long Beach waterscapes and human and consumer flows. The exhibition will open with unexpected blank walls and we invite the public to a panel discussion with the artists and curators. This conversation will lead to various activations throughout the exhibition.
For its second Artist Registry show, Arts Council for Long Beach Executive Director Griselda Suarez is excited to share with Long Beach artists Schutten’s curatorial practice, which is rooted in space and place, dialogue, social exchange, engagement, and experimentation. Schutten said, “This exhibition honors the artistic process rather than the product, allowing visitors to witness the considerable thinking and exploration that goes into an artist’s final product. Artists are some of the great thinkers of our time, and this exhibition will make the artist process visible.”
CAP committee member, Sayon Syprasoeuth added, “The Collaborative Gallery is both an experimental space and a venue to highlight Long Beach artists registered on the new, user-friendly site. In addition to being eligible for future exhibitions, artists are provided an updateable micro-site and the means to add events to the Arts Council calendar. Artists in all disciplines are encouraged to submit a profile.”
Featured artists include Jennifer Celio, Myriam Gurba, Dulce Soledad Ibarra, Olga Lah, Tiffany Le, and Anna Beatrice Scott with programming by artists Devon Tsuno and Southern California Soundscape Ensemble.  
Visitors are invited to witness this experimental “unfolding” exhibition during gallery hours: Wednesday–Saturday, 12:30–5 p.m. Sketches, photos, texts, multimedia, performance, and other objects and materials will contribute to an evolving archive-installation that will culminate at a closing reception and exhibition on August 2, 2018, from 6–9 p.m.
 
The event is free and open to the public and takes place at The Collaborative (421 W. Broadway).
