Unnamed art fills exhibit

The Flik Extension exhibit presented by the students of the Intermedia Art 450 class is a wonderful mix of installation art, video projection and slide projections.

Entering Gallery B, the first work shown is "Untitled," by Jasmine Delgado.    This satirical work shows a puppet, dressed as a Hot Dog on a Stick employee, who moves when someone sets off the motion detector. The sign says "Meat on a Stick," and has a heart on the counter.

A plaster dome in the middle of the room is the highlight of the exhibit. "Untitled," by Nina Jun, is a large igloo-shaped structure, covered by pieces of flat broken plaster, some of which are imprinted with footprints.   Slides of people, wildflowers, roses and grass are automatically projected onto the surface.
 

"It is neat how she projected different pictures onto the textured surface," said sophomore art major Tanis Azevedo, who was viewing the exhibit.

A slide projection, "Untitled," by Wendy Black, shows a shoe/ball/extension cord type contraption, pictured in a variety of environments, including rocks and a window box.

An ocean view, with sunny skies and a beach, is behind a window pane. If  one switch is flipped a light bulb turns on. Then flip the other switch, and it begins to rain. "Untitled," by Andrea Menz, is a fun, interactive piece.

"Untitled," an altarpiece by Lee Hockenberry, is reminiscent of a 1950's "B" movie.

In the middle of the large wall piece, is a picture of an alien or monster. Dolls, skulls, heads and lots of eyeballs surround the piece. A large plastic eyeball overlooks the entire scene while burning candles glow amongst the objects.

"Untitled" by Eun-Kuk Park has a chair, with leather-like upholstery, and a string that runs up to the ceiling.

A crutch, wrapped in the same material, is hanging from this string. A video of a blinking eyeball is placed in the center of the chair back.

This is a great exhibit, showing the talent of CSULB art students.  It is too bad most of the pieces are untitled.
