The Laguna Canyon Project: Artivism
Arriving this week at the Laguna Art Museum!
From our friend, Mark Chamberlain:
Dear Friends,
We are currently working with curator Mike McGee for an
exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum titled The Canyon Project: Artivism. The
opening reception will be on Saturday, October 17 from 6:00 - 8:00pm.
If you are able to come and need tickets, please reply ASAP to me, at bcspace@cox.net, with a current mailing address and we will send them to you.
This exhibition offers the opportunity to show the full
breadth of this enormous art project in which many of you participated ... and
that actually helped shape the future of Laguna Canyon.
Thank you for your help then, and we hope you can come now.
Still hopefully & sincerely yours,
Mark Chamberlain.
The Laguna Canyon Project: Artivism
Exhibit at the Laguna Art Museum
October 18, 2015 - January 17, 2016
For thirty years, The Laguna Canyon Project examined,
considered, and lobbied for the very existence of Laguna Canyon. Primarily
photographic documentation, the Project functioned in turns as art and
activism. It unfolded in 16 phases, the first in 1980, with the final phase
culminating the project in 2010.
The Tell, the 8th and paramount phase, was a 636-foot long
photographic mural, mounted in the canyon in 1989 in celebration of the Orange
County Centennial and the Sesquicentennial of the discovery of photography.
Erected in the Sycamore Hills area of Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, it was
comprised of more than 100,000 personal photographs, donated by individual
contributors.
Although organized and primarily executed by artists Jerry
Burchfield and Mark Chamberlain, thousands of volunteers participated.
Burchfield and Chamberlain founded BC Space, the gallery and photo production
studio in downtown Laguna Beach, which served as the de facto headquarters for
the project.
As this public installation was located on Laguna Canyon
Road—the main artery into Laguna Beach—and across this road from a proposed
massive housing development, it became the focal point and catalyst for massive
public demonstrations, protesting that project. The Tell ultimately served a
crucial role in the preservation of Laguna Canyon.
This exhibition is curated by Mike McGee, Cal State
Fullerton’s Begovich Gallery director, and director of the school’s
Design/Museum Studies Program.
The Canyon Project: Artivism will feature photography,
assemblage, documents, and ephemera related to various phases of the project.
