Toph Beck: Pick Best Move

An immersive experience by Toph Beck

TWO WEEKENDS:
Friday November 22, 2019: 6pm to 10pm
Saturday November 23, 2019: 3pm to 9pm
Friday November 29, 2019: 3pm to 9pm
Saturday November 30, 2019: 3pm to 9pm

For 20 years, Toph Beck worked as a NASA documentary filmmaker and composer in Los Angeles before moving back to his hometown of Omaha in 2015. Currently living in the Old Market, Toph now focuses on his art: a combination of painting, drawing, music and film. His debut solo show, “Pick Best Move”, is designed as an immersive experience. Paintings and drawings will complement the gallery itself as an interactive game board, with a multi-screen projection installation on the lower level and an original soundscape played throughout the gallery. The exhibit draws connections between consumerism, casinos, and conspiracies. A repetitious mixture of abstract design, nonsensical graffiti, and satirical word play – all revolving around a faceless character – are unknowingly being manipulated in both thought and action. “Pick Best Move” is at Split Gallery for two weekends. Opening night is Friday, November 22nd and closing is Black Friday weekend.
