This new company program celebrates the artists that make LBO unique—giving audiences a close look at artists’ own mediums and personal creative practices in an intimate gallery setting, putting the artists’ work fully ON DISPLAY.
The Long Beach Museum of Art Downtown will be transformed into a two-day exhibition and immersive happening that allows audiences to parse the performances and pieces at will. Artistic Director, James Darrah, has curated current and past LBO artists and invited each to craft performances and unique visual art of their own design. The four artists performing throughout the event have been asked to devise and present a personal piece, show works in progress, and provide insight into their own unique process of creation. Many of the artists performing have worked with LBO in previous projects and this event highlights a side that many LBO patrons don't often see. The two days will vary in content—both will feature a merger of dancers, instrumentalists, and vocalists in shockingly close proximity—ON DISPLAY is an artist-forward expansion of the definition of opera through the creation of new cross-discipline pieces of artists’ own mediums and unique practices.
