Early image of the hillside! Sunshine!
As I work on the submission that I hope will be accepted to the Open Call at the LAMAG in Barnsdall Park in Hollywood, my ideas change and change again. Saving $$ is a goal and having a piece that reminds of what Chris Burden always said, "Be sure that the work looks neat!"
With the changes I decided on today, I'll save some money on fabrication and materials. The piece will still be 'big' but.. more manageable.

Went to the COLA show at the Muncipal Gallery today and was impressed with several of the pieces and some of the concepts. The show is slightly uneven with some lighting being helpful and other installations lit in a rather flat way.
My favorite piece is Won Ju Lim's take on Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel: two bike rims are combined with a 16mm movie editing machine.
"Turn Handle" invites visitors to watch a few frames of an old Black and White film. The artist has also installed a movie that surveys lots of Los Angeles neighborhoods.
This C.O.L.A. show is filled with impressive big, big pieces. Another installation by Keiko Fukazawa honors Chinese artist Ai WeiWei including a gorgous bicycle covered with bisque flowers standing in a 'shower' of ceramic buds strung on monofilament line. Beautifully installed.
