CÉLESTE BOURSIER-MOUGENOT

A lifeguard tower sited north of the pier dissolved into a sea of foam as the evening progressed.  Foam fell along the structure from the roof down and collected at the base in a lined basin dug into the sand.  The foam was produced according to signals that were picked up by four video cameras situated in the adjacent parking lot.  The visual data was translated into signals controlling the amount of foam that was produced and also stimulated an audio response broadcast in speakers placed within the lifeguard tower.  The sound was ambient in nature and was controlled by the artist throughout the event.  During the course of Glow the foam accumulated and obscured the lifeguard tower and it also subsided; like the tide, it ebbed and flowed all night.

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot is trained as both a composer and sculptor; the two artistic traditions are fully synthesized in Boursier-Mougenot’s installations and sculpture. Focusing on chance, nature, architectural and sculptural forms, the work is as much a performance as a static exhibition. Among Boursier-Mougenot’s notable works, natural events, such as the soft landing of a finch on a string instrument, are co-producers of the effect, so that the spectator’s experience unfolds in unexpected ways. Boursier-Mougenot has shown widely in Asia, Europe and the United States and was a finalist for the prestigious Marcel Duchamp Award. He lives and works in Séte, France. http://www.xippas.com/en/artist/celeste_boursier-mougenot

FOOD, DRINK, HOTEL, FOOD TRUCKS & OTHER SPECIAL OFFERS

Food, drink and hotel specials are a major part of the fun. A multitude of restaurants and businesses near the action will be open until 4 a.m., with many offering Glow specials. In addition, two food truck courts will provide food choices on the beach north and south of the pier. (Alcohol service ends at 2 a.m. per state law, or at an earlier time in accordance with the establishment’s Conditional Use Permit.) Twelve Santa Monica hotels are offering low-rate Glow packages that include late checkout, complimentary breakfast and “glowing” specials such as picnic baskets and signature cocktails.

Retail businesses will also offer specials such as discounts on arcade games, manicures and pedicures and special Glow items.
