Plan your visit to the Long Beach Museum of Art for an upcoming exhibition that is not to be missed. From February 2, 2024, to May 5, 2024, the museum will be showcasing Ed Templeton's groundbreaking photographic project, "Wires Crossed: The Culture of Skateboarding, 1995-2012". This solo exhibition offers a unique and intimate look into the world of skateboarding as captured through Templeton's lens. As a professional skateboarder and artist, Templeton brings a wealth of personal experience and insight to his work, which explores the DIY and punk-infused subculture of skateboarding during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Through a combination of photography, collage, text, maps, and archival ephemera, "Wires Crossed" offers a comprehensive exploration of the skateboarding world. Templeton's images capture the raw energy and spirit of skateboarding, showcasing the triumphs, disasters, and everything in between. This exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in youth culture and the artistic expression that emerged from the skateboarding community.
In addition to "Wires Crossed," the Long Beach Museum of Art is currently hosting the "MOMENTS: A LBUSD Middle School Art Exhibition" which celebrates the creative potential of photography and digital art. Running from October 26, 2023, to February 25, 2024, this exhibition showcases the work of talented students who have embraced the opportunities offered by modern technology to express their unique perspectives.
