Inflection Points

Katie Morlan, left, looks at a piece in Katie Reinman’s and Kelly Hamilton’s “Inflection Points” gallery in the Max L. Gatov East gallery on Sunday evening. Reinman’s purpose is to “emit the inner strength of women” and to show how “women portray themselves in a masculine society,” according to a statement by the artist. Morlan, a senior child development and family studies major, said, “It’s so beautiful; it definitely portrays women in a different light,” explaining that other pieces show women typically as thin and small.

You Break It, You Buy It

An untitled piece is on display in the Marilyn Werby gallery at Cal State Long Beach in Laurence Barnett Rubin’s “You Break it, You Buy It” exhibition. The piece features keys hung on pegs. Rubin, a senior sculpture major, explained that keys serve two symbols — that of security and safety. The piece, he said, is a safe zone between his destructive pieces, and also represents a state of mind, as one cannot lose keys.

The Next Episode

The piece “The Next Episode” is exhibited at the Marilyn Werby gallery on Monday. The show was put on by the group A-O and combines elements of sculpture and metal. “The Next Episode” is a mixed media installation by fine arts metals major Khadiga Razzak and fine arts sculpture major Marissa Johnen and represents a “view of your reality and subconscious,” according to Razzak. "The Next Episode" runs from Monday to Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. On Wednesday the gallery will be open until 8 p.m.

A poem penned on the wall leading into the piece is intended to “spark your mind” and connect the reader with words before seeing the piece.

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.

"Untitled"

"Untitled" by Scout Segotta, a senior majoring in sculpture, is showcased at the Maxine Merlino Gallery at Cal State Long Beach. "It's all about process," Segotta said. "I like to use figurative in my work; the body, the relationship, between you and the piece." The gallery will run until Thursday at 5 p.m.
