SOLIDS
Founded at the dawn of the new millennium, Los Angeles based “Solids” is a collective of sculptors who have joined together to create a body of imaginative, conceptually driven works of art inspired by unified, show specific themes. Initially a group of twelve artists, Solids has grown into a touring group art show with a vast array of artists and performers as well as a strong following of collectors. The group endeavors to continually expand and explore the boundaries of multimedia art, focusing on untethered personal expression from new and emerging artists. Solids always strive to constantly redefine possibilities.

EXHIBITIONS
The sculpture troupe offers opportunities for inspiration and awakening using new perspectives on craft, design, and material applications as conduits for social awareness. Our shows include a range of disciplines including fine art, sculpture, installation, conceptual pieces, video, performance, painting, photography, music, and furniture to architectural installation. Solids has been staging large scale, multi-media art exhibitions at venues such as the Pacific Design Center, “The Space??? downtown, the 4016 Gallery at Sunset Junction, and LA Art fest in 2005.

EVENTS
Solids events draw a vast, diverse audience of characters, collectors, and artists who converge at our openings and mid-show gatherings. Our events, which have been featured in the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles City Beat, are open salons for experienced performance artists and musicians who gather to create rarely seen performances met with lasting acclaim. Emerging from the underground Solids has attracted talent and enthusiasts who have witnessed the group???s evolution.

???MOMENTUM???
The upcoming Solids show “Momentum,” is a collaborative lens focusing on positive forward movement into the new millennium. Expanding our latest exhibition into the downtown Los Angeles “Bedlam” Warehouse space, to be filled by thirty five of our artist members, the show will be our seventh and largest event thus far. Bedlam will become a multi- floor gallery space staffed by Solids Artists throughout the run of the show. We look forward to an invigorating gala opening filled with music, dance, live sculpture, and ongoing performance art pieces.
