Insights

Student artists
at Cal State Long Beach will showoff their creative talent
as a part of the annual artist exhibition, Insights 2002,
at the University Art Museum.
The Insights artwork selection was done through a juried selection
process to select the student artists with a date for the
artists to submit work, said Stacey Atchley, community relations
coordinator for the Museum.
Insights provides students the chance to show off their artwork
without having to pay a fee, said Noah Thomas, a graduate
art scultpure student.
"Most juried shows have an entry fee and [Insights] is
in an actual art museum," he said.
The artwork demonstrates the extraordinary level of artistic
achievement at the university through works by students in
all disciplines, including ceramics, drawing and painting,
graphic design, illustration, photography, printmaking, fiber,
metal, jewelry and sculpture, said Athchley.
Insights will showcase both graduate and undergraduate students
of the department of art. The exhibition is brought together
through the College of the Arts, according to the UAM's Web
site.
The Insights exhibition is the only all student exhibition
of the year for the University Art Museum, said Atchley.
Thomas created a sculptor for the exhibition of a piano with
a computer device inside to play notes.
"There's a basic computer controller which has 16 timing
switches which turn on and off at different times. So I hooked
up the switches to make different notes," said Thomas.
Thomas is a veteran to Insights, as last year he also had
artwork that was showcased at the exhibition. He had a piece
of a box with a bonsai tree in it with a lamp and a watering
system, said Thomas.
There are many artists doing different forms of artwork giving
the exhibition variety, said Atchley.
Tim Oburst and Charles Carter did a collaboration art piece
with a photo of themselves with jars of hair accompanying
the photograph, said Atchley.
David Gooch and Casandra Simon are two other artists, who
are submitting prints for the exhibition, said Atchley.
Gooch is displaying a silk screen print titled "Nuclear
All Purpose," with a bottle of spray cleaner at the center
of the artwork, said Atchley.
The exhibition gives a chance for students to display their
work in an art museum with free admission, said Atchley.
Insights 2002 will run from May 9 to 31.
