LUMPEN STATION
Art Installation at Glendale’s Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station
GLENDALE, CA – Artists Beck + Col’s installation, Lumpen Station, will be on display at the Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station from July 12 – August 20, 2021. “Lumpen Station” is based off of the series “The Revolting Lumpen” by artists, Beck + Col, which features bright, colorful, multidisciplinary experiences combining wearable sculpture, performance, dance, music and live operatic vocalizations. The versatility of textiles allows the artists to build elaborate worlds and the themes running through them. The entire installation was created using three textiles: velvet, cotton and mesh, as well as wood, foam and pex for structure.
The mission of the Glendale Arts and Culture Commission is to enrich the human experience, reinforce Glendale’s identity and civic pride through arts and culture, and to recognize the importance of arts to our quality of life and to the local economy. This is accomplished by consciously integrating arts and culture into the daily life of the people of Glendale through urban design, planning, economic development, and education.
