Opening Reception: soundplay < = > southbay

Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) presents soundplay < = > southbay, the exhibition by FLOOD kicking off the soundpedro2024 season, CHARIVARI.

Join us in the gallery during AGCC's Open Studios Day for the exhibition's opening reception on April 27th from 2-4pm.

soundplay < = > southbay provides both glimpse and glitch into 20 years of sound art within the context of Long Beach SoundWalk and soundpedro, produced by the artist group FLOOD. Through installations, videos, and performance, the exhibition will trace early SoundWalk events which began in 2004. Bridging time and underscoring the joint legacies of SoundWalk and soundpedro, this exhibit traces events from 2004 to 2024 and considers the future.

The exhibition runs through June 1st, 2024, closing with the campus wide one-night event, soundpedro2024 CHARIVARI.

FLOOD produced the SoundWalk annually for ten years, within a shifting footprint of urban streets, sidewalks, unexpected indoor spaces, and alleys of downtown Long Beach. This evolved into soundpedro, the more recent iteration of the sound art festival. From the one-night SoundWalk, soundpedro has expanded into a season of sonic experiments and ear orientation, both in-person and online. The signature on-site event takes place annually at Angels Gate Cultural Center in San Pedro, where participants respond to and react within the wild, varied landscape and complex history of the site.

AGCC Gallery Hours, starting April 27th: Thursday - Saturday, 10am to 4pm.
