A new film by Eric Minh Swenson.

Sherry Stern : What might 1,000 black-and-white umbrellas, each designed with the image of a seashell X-ray and illuminated with LED lights, accomplish? When the umbrellas are undulated by volunteer performers spread along Main Beach for “Shoreline Project,” artist Elizabeth Turk envisions a common memory for the community. That one-night spectacle is the centerpiece of Laguna Art Museum’s sixth annual Art & Nature, a four-day exploration into the relationship of art with the natural world. For Turk’s museum-commissioned site-specific work, the public is invited to either carry one of those umbrellas or congregate on the city’s cliffs and absorb the scene.
