Studio Artist Slobodan Dimitrov was featured in Port PHOTO Alumni Feature honoring his photography which documents cultural and occupational life. He says, “I have found that in the minutia of everyday life there are elements of the monumental which are readily accessible photographically, and more importantly, recognizable by a vast majority of the viewing public. One such undertaking is the Long Beach Blues Project. It is a visual narrative on how occupational culture is portrayed through music. As Long Beach became a military transit point during WWII, as a Navy town, the Blues, as a music genre, became one of its legacies. The images shown here, are from the Parking Lot Portrait series, one facet of the Blues Project, where musicians gather before, between, and after sets, and engage in dialogue with each other.”
More photos and the feature can be found on the Arts Council of Long Beach website.

Multiples
July 10 – September 11, 2021
Multiples presents works by Nathan Gulick, Colleen Hargaden, Seth Lower, Megan Mueller, Samuel Scharf, Noah Spindler, Katie Thoma, and Kayta Usvitsky, with a text by Hannah Sage Kay. Visit the virtual gallery on our website.
This group of artists shares a strategy of building meaning from the multiple, from iterative or serial works, the use of standardized prefabricated materials, to the accumulation of images. These works challenge expectations of uniformity and predictability, in an effort to make citable organizational structures, units of construction in the built environment, and unseen material ubiquity.

This exhibition is presented through support from the Pasadena Art Alliance.

Welcome Summer Interns
We would like to thank L.A. County Department of Arts and Culture and the Getty Foundation for the wonderful interns we have this year. And we thank these interns for choosing to spend their summer with Angels Gate Cultural Center.

This year’s Getty Gallery Management Intern is Bea Correa, a multidisciplinary artist based in Whittier California, finishing their BA in Studio Art at California State Dominguez Hills. Their art centralizes the representation of body image and sexuality, whether they are female, male, or non-binary. They paint with acrylic paint on wooden panels, stretched canvases, and the illustration app, procreate. Their art practice is to create content that spreads awareness towards body positivity; it’s geared to represent the underrepresented and shine a light on people’s different perceptions of beauty.
