SoundWalk2007

On September 22, 2007, the Long Beach artist group, FLOOD, will  
present SoundWalk2007, featuring artists from the Southland and the  
international scene.  This event operates under the concept of a one- 
night aural/visual experience as provided by a walking-tour of sound  
installations and soundmarks located in various indoor and outdoor  
spaces situated throughout the East Village Arts District in Downtown  
Long Beach.  The artworks will combine in multiple ways a wide range  
of visual, performative and audio components.  There will be  
sculptures, environments, installations and performances.

About SoundWalk2007

SoundWalk is an annual art event produced by the Long Beach artist  
group, FLOOD, as a variation of the "ArtWalk" events that take place  
every 2nd Saturday in the Arts District of Long Beach.  Artists and  
viewers alike passionately embraced the inaugural event, SoundWalk  
2004, with thirty artists participating and nearly a thousand  
visitors joining together for the evening walking-tour.  Many  
visitors, who had no prior encounter with sound-art, were  
overwhelmingly enthusiastic in their responses.

Now in our fourth year, we continue to explore this unique  
environmental experience with new and returning artists participating  
in the transformation of our downtown Long Beach space.  Outdoor  
soundmarks add a layer to and perform in concert with sounds of the  
city, thus intermingling with and altering the local soundscape.   
Unlikely combinations of the ordinary and the extraordinary enter  
into chance encounters with the attending public.  Galleries and  
stores within the Arts District will accommodate a variety of indoor  
installations, creating uncommon intersections of art and commerce.  
This evening dedicated to sound is not only an exciting moment of  
transformed perception but a chance to rethink our sensory engagement  
with the spaces within which we function.

A number of works will be on display for an extended period  
throughout the month of September at various indoor locations. Once  
again, we wish to surprise, puzzle, enchant as well as engage those  
who intentionally and unintentionally participate in SoundWalk 2007.

This event is free to the public and is being sponsored in part by  
the Downtown Long Beach Business Associates (DLBA), The Arts Council  
for Long Beach, The East Village Association (EVA) and The City of  
Long Beach.  More information about FLOOD and the artists is  
available upon request.
