Concrete Gallery is our documentary debut. Nineteen minutes on how freeway underpasses in Commerce, California became Pathways of Hope—the largest art installation in Caltrans District 7 history.
We made it ourselves. Independently produced and financed by Vivache, because the story of how public art gets made deserves to be told by the people who make it.
Concrete Gallery is also a sign of who we're becoming. Murals are our foundation, but Vivache is a studio. Sculpture and fabrication. Interactive art. Music and sound. Video and animation. Materials science in The Lab. And now, film. Every new discipline makes the work bigger, and the stories we can tell about it richer.
The film follows Michael and Seema from design to the last stroke, alongside their team of artists. It's about access. Community identity. The idea that high art belongs under a freeway as much as in a museum.
Before sending it out, we shared it with friends and family in private screenings. The response has been incredible.
This fall, we applied to film festivals. Film is taking the studio on an exciting new journey, and we can't wait to share where it goes next.
