New piping

Construction workers replace piping in the East Turnaround area on Tuesday. The workers are replacing the medium-pressure piping, which provides heating for upper campus, and high-pressure piping, which feeds the central plant. The medium-pressure piping will be finished today. The construction workers will connect the high-pressure piping on Monday, during a furlough day, to minimize disruption, said Pat Farrell, a DMCP worker. The piping was broken for some time and was last replaced more than 30 years ago.

Alone for art

Kimberly Zumpfe, a BFA sculpture major, and MFA photo grad student Nicole Sloan, back, do a performance "based on aloneness" inside a icosahedron outside the Fine Arts building on Monday. The performance was for Kelly Nipper and Dana Bauer's Intermedia art class. It was based off the philosophy of the dancer Lebon, who believed that the body had particular points of movement that were traceable in a geometric shape. Zumpfe described the experience as "movements in a space when you are alone juxtaposed with people around you."

Knott's Scary Farm

Cal State Long Beach hosted a Vendor Fair at the Southwest Terrace. Knott's Scary Farm was there, along with a couple of monsters to scare people. As I was taking this photo, a student came up behind them and screamed to try to scare them. "It doesn't work on us!" one of the monsters shouted. The other said, "You should try out for Knott's Scary Farm. You won't need a mask!"

President's Mixer

Isaac Choice, a senior accounting major and president of the Black Business Student Association, bowls a frame during the President’s Mixer at the University Student Union on Wednesday. Officers from campus organizations and clubs mingled, ate Sbarro’s pizza and salad, drank soda and bowled games. “It gives students a chance to come and network and go bowling, and to talk about what ASI can do for you,” Beach Pride Coordinator Chance Decker said in a press release.

New SCULPTURE

Bob Ciborowski views the artwork titled “In Progress” (back) and “Untitled Memory” at his son Todd Ciborowski’s New SCULPTURE exhibition at the Max L. Gatov East gallery on Sunday. The exhibition is about “the memories I have and the memories of making the art,” Todd said. “Untitled Memory,” a plane made of pine and glue, represents Ciborowski’s memories of his father taking him to the model plane store. New SCULPTURE will run until Thursday from noon to 5 p.m.

Reconstortion

“Reconstortion” is showcased at the Marilyn Werby Gallery at Cal State Long Beach. The piece is a collaboration between Briana Wilson, a fine arts 3-D video major, and Chris Velasco, pursuing a bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in photography. The piece’s purpose is to “challenge the way the image is viewed or perceived,” Wilson said. It aims to be a “disturbed simulation of natural environment” and evoke “tranquility, peace, and escape” in the viewer, according to the artist’s statements.
