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.

"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 don't like that. I've never liked that" (state2)

The piece "I don't like that. I've never liked that" (state2) is the centerpiece of Camilla Taylor's "Among Us" exhibition at the Dennis W. Dutzi gallery at CSULB. Taylor, a graduate printmaking major, said the piece piece is about "isolation in groups, like when you're on a crowded bus. You're there with the other people but not really with them."

The piece is made of found fabric and old clothes. It was relief printed, or printed with a large stamp. The stamp was custom made. Taylor took pieces of wood, carved it out with little knives, rolled it with ink, and ran it through a press before sewing it together.

Long lines at Student Account Services at Brotman Hall greet students on the first day back. Trey Dennis, a senior communications major, waited in line to purchase a parking permit. Of the line, he said, "It's expected. It's been like this all day."
