On August 9, 1983, LBMA premiered the self-produced cable television series titled Shared Realities: A Cultural Arts Cable Programming Series. Consequently, twelve one-hour episodes aired on Long Beach Cablevision’s local Channel 3 over an eighteen-week period.
Produced by LBMA VIDEO and overseen by Executive Producer Kathy Rae Huffman, the series featured interviews, art reviews and discussion, music, and live performances, among many other topics and disciplines. The series took its name, Shared Realities, from the statewide Cable and Arts Conference held in Long Beach at the Queen Mary in 1983. Utilizing accessible cable television was a key objective within the original vision of the LBMA VIDEO Program since its inception by curator David Ross in 1974.
This exhibition offers a screening of eight out of the twelve one-hour programs that have been digitally archived by the Getty Research Institute’s Media Archival Department.
