GLOW selected artists announced
From the official GLOW website:
Over 100 artists responded to an open-call for proposals to Los Angeles County artists for Glow and ten were picked for funding. There is a vast range in approaches, from projects that use very advanced technologies to more traditional media. All projects do invite the audience to become engaged in the work in one form or another. Artists’ concepts were developed in response to the physical and/or cultural conditions of Santa Monica Beach and its environs. One project includes scuba divers, another uses the gymnastic equipment of Muscle Beach and a third uses the historic trellis structure in Crescent Bay Park. All projects are unique and Glow is delighted to make these artists and their work available to the large audience we expect on September 25. The artists (and artist teams) are:
- Claudia Bucher
- John Carpenter and Jerry Digby
- Robert Chapin & team
- Anne Herlihy
- Joshua Howell & Aaron Zeligs
- Gil Kuno
- Corey Madden, Bruno Louchouarn & Keith Mitchell
- Chris Nelson & team
- Christopher O’Leary
- Hadrian Predock & John Frane

- Rita Gonzalez – Assistant Curator, Contemporary Art, LACMA
