GIỚI THIỆU

Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock and Outpost for Contemporary Art have collaborated to organize , which is a multi-sited public installation project that brings artistic interventions into businesses. This project features 17 temporary art installations by artists who live and/or work in North East Los Angeles. For this project, Outpost for Contemporary Art sought artists whose site-related projects augment or set off what is naturally occurring within York Blvd. businesses. Included are artists who have used a particular business context as a jumping off point for their work. For example, Enrique Castrejon worked inside a flower shop to create an intricately woven paper funereal wreath that memorializes children who have lost their lives in Iraq. Jay Lizo has installed a sandwich board outside a beauty salon to convey philosophical and popular messages about beauty. Luisa Van Leer worked with a print and banner shop to create a Highland Park flag that will be hung on the business's flag pole. The aim behind is to promote business and develop relationships among artists and non-artists who share the same community. Pick up a project map, start your tour, and participate in the artists' reception at The York (5018 York Blvd., LA CA 90042). The reception is free and open to the public. A SHORT LIST OF PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES: An Angel Dream Flowers and Decorations, American TV Service, Comprehensive Community Health Center, Cosmos Records, Digicolor, Inc., Shalom Beauty Salon, Jesse's Upholstery, Junior Discount Party Supply, M.A.N. Insurance, Medical Center, Pets with Fez Weaving Studio, and The York. is made possible through a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
