A lovely Deep South Svastra, S. petulca to be specific. A nice pollen shot. You can see the huge bushy pollen carrying hairs on its hind legs, designed to carry dry pollen unlike Honey Bees and Bumble Bees which mix their pollen with nectar. I am guessing it is some sort of composite given it is blow out orange and that Svastras are known to favor that family of plants. Collected by Mimi Jenkins near Charleston, SC and Anders Croft's first bee photographs (Excellent work Anders, remind me to double your pay).

Visions of America: Amériques
Audio/Visual Performance conducted by Esa-pekka Salonen, performed by Los Angeles Philharmonic
6th of November, 2014
Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles
_
'The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s multimedia presentation of Edgard Varèse’s Amériques launched the new in/SIGHT series at Walt Disney Concert Hall,The presentation of Amériques is accompanied by the new Anadol site-specific architectural video installation, which was developed to illuminate and enhance the Varèse's composition and to activate the architecture of Walt Disney Concert Hall. The dynamic visual program created by Anadol uses custom-built algorithmic sound analysis to listen and respond to the music in real time, using architecture as a canvas and light as a material. Additionally, the movements of Salonen, as he conducts, will be captured by next generation Microsoft Kinect hardware and 3-D depth camera analysis to inform the visuals displayed. The result was a powerful and immersive experience for the audience that engaged their visual and auditory senses.'
Launching in/SIGHT – the LA Phil's groundbreaking series of concerts with video – this program embodies the vision of the New World as a place of unlimited artistic freedom. Amériques was the first musical piece that Varèse composed upon coming to New York and this project is fittingly the first site-specific audio-visual performance that I produce in the U.S. I approached this collaboration from the standpoint of a non-linear and ephemeral interaction between Salonen, Varèse, and me, and hope that I will be able to transform Varèse’s timeless musical fiction into an immersive visual medium through which a new kind of storytelling will occur. Rather than approaching this medium as a means of escape into some disembodied techno-utopian fantasy, this project sees itself as a means of return. It aims to facilitate a temporary release from our habitual
perceptions and culturally biased assumptions about being in the world, and to enable us, however momentarily, to perceive our own stories and the stories around us freshly.
In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Anadol stated regarding this work, “Instead of creating a media screen, there will be a story inside the space. What happens if you add a video layer that speaks to the audience in a whole new experience? We're exploring the boundaries of what is real, what is physical, what is virtual…”
I would like to sincerely thank everyone who made this project possible. This project would never have been possible without the tremendous and generous support of Los Angeles Philharmonic, President and CEO Deborah Borda; Vice President of Artistic Planning Chad Smith; Artistic Administrator Meghan Martineau and Concert Operations Manager Taylor Saleeby. I would also like to thank for their open-handed support the University California, Los Angeles, Department of Media Arts’ faculty members, Microsoft Research, and Lili Cheng, Finally and specially I would like to thank Frank Gehry for his dreamful canvas and Esa-Pekka Salonen for his open-minded collaboration with me to discover “New Worlds.”

“Associated” is a site specific show in a severely damaged brownstone, currently with a Vacate Order, issued by the DOB. As you may recall, the huge fire on Nov 12th 2010 at the Associated Supermarket on 5th Avenue and 17th Street not only damaged the supermarket building including the Open Source Gallery, but also a brownstone next door. The 3 family house, the Gallery owners’ home, was also rendered uninhabitable by the blaze.
There is no exact date for the show. There will be a 2 week window when the Vacate Order will be dropped and the contractors will start their work. All participating artists are prepared to install their work any day within the next month.

A former hairdressers on Arachovis Street forms the context for an installation of “smart” lights programmed according to statutory international working hours. Operating at fixed hours, they take into account the limits to weekly working hours, periods of rest and holiday. James Bridle employs the increasingly widespread technology of the “internet of things” to make visible the EU Working Time Directive (2003/88/EC) which was created to protect workers’ rights. When activated, the light bulbs shine continuously during working hours, go dim and change colour during overtime and non-working hours. In addition, the lights change periodically to visualise the different actual working hours around the globe.
Cheaper by the Dozen continues James Bridle’s interest in algorithmic law, the processes of automation, and the political implications of the "internet of things". By addressing the guidelines to working hours in the context of a deactivated hairdressers shop, the artist draws upon the sensitivities and prejudices inherent to national working rhythms and the gross domestic product. More specifically, Bridle took inspiration from Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, pioneers of scientific management and the study of time and motion, who measured and assessed workers’ productivity through the technique of light painting. Their theoretical heritage was fundamental to the deployment of labour practices in the 20th century, just as the implementation of often opaque political intent in software is fundamental to those of the 21st century. By inserting other social values into the software layer of contemporary labour practices, the work seeks to challenge the logic of technodeterminism and alienation deployed by late capitalism.

In this specific car park, i tend to see quite a lot of foreign registered vehicles (well i did, as there are less because of it being November now). This V40 is Belgian registered, but it seems quite obvious that these are not the original plates, as these types of plate came out in 2010, way after this car was built.

Lovely Peugeot 301! Very rare to see them in L, E or P as the 301 Is not in sale in Western European (but yes in some Eastern EU European countries. It is also sold in F, but in specific Regions and departments such as Guadeloupe, Réunion, Mayotte, French Guyana and Martinique (a private dealership in New Aquitaine sells them unofficially as well)
Ambling out of Jaisalmer train station in late morning, we were immediately accosted by the throngs of drivers – mostly working for specific hotels – who were trying to pick us up. Since I’d booked a room at the Roop Mahal, this wasn’t an issue. It took a minute to find the guy, but he was there to drive us the whole 1-2 km to the hotel, which was at the base of the fort on the west side.
The biggest reason to come to Jaisalmer, the Golden City (since most places are primarily built of sandstone) is to see the fort, which is on a bit of a hill overlooking an otherwise flat desert. As it’s in the desert, the temperatures in the day, even in late September, were close to 40 degrees Celsius (a little over 100F).
According to Lonely Planet India, the fort was built in 1156 by the Rajput ruler Jaisal and reinforced by subsequent rulers. It “was the focus of a number of battles between the Bhatis, the Mughals of Delhi and the Rathores of Jodhpur.”
Nowadays, it’s a living fort. Jaisalmer Fort has plenty of residents, restaurants, souvenir stands, havelis (old-style housing with ornate architecture: carved stone doorways, lattice screens, balconies, and turrets). The havelis are often hotels now, and almost every hotel here has a rooftop restaurant to enjoy the surrounding view. Our hotel, the Roop Mahal, also had a rooftop restaurant where I ate a few times. The food was…not great, but certainly not bad.
In addition to the havelis, there are also quite a few temples. Specifically, there are seven Jain temples (that you can tour for 150 rupees/15 RMB/$2.50USD). These temples were visually quite attractive inside – some more than others – and also had plenty of worshippers coming in and out. I was impressed by the intricacy of the details and sandstone carving, the intimacy of the art, and the way natural light was used in the temples. I don’t believe tripods were allowed inside the temple, which made a lot of shooting quite difficult, but not impossible. The only other rule is that you have to take your shoes off outside and pay someone (usually about 100 rupee) to “watch” your shoes.
After having a meal in the fort (and, excitedly, finding a spice shop where I bought the first of many Indian spices to bring back to China with me), my travel partner arranged for us to go out to the desert and ride camels. (The hotelier also offered something similar, but was a bit expensive.)
Later in the day, around 5:00, if I recall correctly, a guy came to pick us up at the hotel in a jeep and four of us – me, my travel partner, and two Israeli women – started our drive out to Sam, about 50 km west of Jaisalmer (and less than 100 km – maybe less than 50 – from the Pakistani border to the west).
En route, we had to make a few required stops (per our drivers). The first place was so forgettable that I can’t even recall the name of it or what it was. The second place was just to see a small village (really, two buildings) and a whole lot of kids running up to you begging for money in exchange for pictures.
After that, we finally made it out to the desert, where we rode camels for about half an hour and then stopped at a rather random place where we were eventually given a home-cooked Indian meal, vegetarian, that consisted of dal, naan, and a few curries. It was delicious, and had to be eaten completely in Indian style (no utensils of any kind).
While watching the sunset and the subsequent moonrise, we eventually bade our Israeli friends farewell (as they were spending the night in the desert) and headed back to town. Along the way, I caught a glimpse of a late night cricket match, and it was the only time during this trip I’d see that. When we got back to the hotel, we just needed to wait there for an hour or two before they were kind enough to drive us to the train station around 11:00 p.m. so we could catch our midnight train to Jodhpur…the Blue City.

The Main Hall in Leeds Town Hall, the venue for one hell of a concert, of 7 Brass Bands, Playing 1812 Overture and the Lost Chord
A bit of history about the Town Hall
In July 1850, Leeds Borough Council sought to build a new town hall and established a committee to assess the opinions of Leeds' inhabitants as to the building of a new municipal hall.
Looking to finance the new hall, the Council proposed to sell shares in the building to the value of £10, this method quickly failed. The council then proposed to introduce a specific rate to be levied on its inhabitants to fund the building of a town hall. The tax was not introduced until after the November 1850 local election, although most of the inhabitants of the city who would have paid the tax at the time lacked voting rights.
The town hall was finally approved in January 1851, when Alderman Hepper put the motion to the council and it was carried by 24 votes to 12.
As well as being a functional building, Leeds Town Hall was proposed to represent Leeds's emergence as an important industrial centre during the Industrial Revolution and is a symbol of civic pride and confidence. Leeds Corporation tendered for designs from architects to design a town hall for Leeds. The contract was won by Cuthbert Brodrick, a previously unknown young Kingston upon Hull born architect who had trained in Paris.

Migrant Hawker -(Aeshna mixta) - male
For many years I've been hoping that a specific pond in the New Forest would produce the goods. Virtually every time I've been there I've come away disappointed.
Situated as it is high up on Bratley Plain, it's essential you choose a calm day, or risk getting battered by the slightest breeze.
The man-made pond is the one that usually disappoints, but the decrease in water levels allowed me to paddle across to the island where I could sit in front of a small area of reeds and observe the Migrants at close quarters.
The adjoining boggy pool provided the most variety, with a total of eight species seen over the course of two hours, including a late Small Red. Pretty good for this late in the season.
Kind of put my favourite pond into perspective, with only a Southern and a couple of Common Darters to show for my visit.

In her intervention, Lola Lasurt has collaborated with the Biblioteca Pública Arús, a study centre founded in 1895 with outstanding collections related to the labour movement, anarchism, Freemasonry and Sherlock Holmes. The project centres on a series of grisaille paintings forming a pictorial frieze that hangs from the balcony above a presentation of books in the Arús’s display cases. Under the title “Donació” (Donation), 2016, Lasurt departs from 135 publications that once formed the personal library of Assumpta Corbera Santanach that were gifted in 2010 to the Arús after her death. Corbera Santanach identified as a feminist and a Freemason; she was not a public figure. Yet the impulse of Lasurt’s project is not primarily biographic or historiographic, but bibliographic and pictorial. Accordingly, “Donació” attempts to narrate changes in social and cultural attitudes through the selection and redrafting of images that appear on the pages of the bibliographic bequest. Treating the publications as an intimate accumulation of ‘alternative’ knowledge and a representation of a self-education, Lasurt is interested in the portrayal of a private political imagination in the midst of what is now a public collection. – Latitudes
Lola Lasurt (Barcelona, 1983) studied Fine Arts (2005) at the Universitat de Barcelona and obtained a postgraduate in Aesthetics and Contemporary Art Theory, Universitat Autònoma Barcelona (2007) and an MA in Artistic Production and Research (2009). She has been resident at HISK, Ghent; La Ene, Buenos Aires and at the Greatmore Art Studios, Cape Town. She has exhibited individually at ‘Promenade’, 105 Besme, Brussels (2015); ‘Exercici de ritme’, Galeria Joan Prats, Barcelona (2015); ‘Doble autorización‘, as part of the exhibition cycle ‘Arqueología preventiva’, Espai 13, Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona (2014); ‘Amnèsies’, Espai2, Terrassa (2012), ‘El Gegant Menhir’, Museu Joan Abelló, Mollet del Vallès (2011). Amongst her group shows are ‘Young Belgian Art Prize 2015’, Bozar, Brussels (2015); ‘Write of Spring’, Het Paviljoen, Ghent (2014); ‘Narrativas domésticas: más allá del álbum familiar’, Visiona, Huesca (2013); ‘Los inmutables’, DAFO, Lleida (2012); ‘La gran aventura’, Can Felipa, Barcelona (2012); ‘Learn and Teach’, Greatmore Art Studios, South Africa (2012).

“Donació” (2016) was commissioned for the second edition of the Barcelona Gallery Weekend (29 September–2 October 2016) as part of the “Composiciones” programme.
Curated by Latitudes for the second time (see 2015 edition), the project further explores Barcelona as a rich fabric of the historic and the contemporary, the unfamiliar and the conspicuous. Resisting an overall theme, and instead developing from the artists’ responses to the specificity of each context—people as well as places—the five art projects form a temporary thread that links evocative locations and public space, running parallel to the Weekend’s exhibitions in galleries and museums.
In its second edition, "Composiciones" presents interventions by Lúa Coderch (Club Billar Barcelona); Regina Giménez (Antigua Fábrica de Can Trinxet, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat); Lola Lasurt (Biblioteca Pública Arús); Robert Llimós (connecting all the participating galleries) and Wilfredo Prieto (Unitat Muntada de la Guàrdia Urbana de Barcelona). Their projects offer moments of intermission, intimacy and bewilderment throughout the weekend, highlighting some lesser-known aspects of the city’s cultural heritage and municipal life.

Site-specific functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes by Focused Ion Beam
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as one of the building blocks in nanodevices. Functionalization of the CNTs can alter the electronic, mechanic and even magnetic properties of the CNTs, allowing access to advanced nanoarchitectures. Although advanced achievements on functionalization of CNTs using both physical and chemical methods have been reported, controlled functionalization on CNTs at specific site in sub-micrometer or even nanometer scale remains a major challenge. The Focused Ion Beam (FIB) irradiation offers a high-quality solution for site-specific functionalization of CNTs. The use of low keV ions (5keV and 10keV) creates active sites for further functionalization along predefined regions of the CNT surface while the core-shell structures can be preserved. The present work studies the effect of the ion dose and energy in the CNTs’ electronic and structural properties. As-irradiated CNTs are studied by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy to investigate the effect of the irradiation using different parameters. Further study of evaporated metal nanoparticles on FIB-irradiated CNTs will confirm the successful site-specific functionalization of CNTs.
After identifying the specific nature of your physical challenges, you will be assigned specific stretches, movements, and exercises to optimally insure proper recovery and to restore your health and fitness. This occurs in a phased approach:
Phase I involves range of motion enhancement patterns and stretches designed to restore joint function.
Phase II involves core stability exercises designed to increase a joint’s weight-bearing ability while at the same time increasing pain-free range of motion.
Phase III involves specific strength and conditioning exercises designed to enable you to perform desired activities of daily living at least as well as, if not better than, you did before you were injured.

Sacrificing specific animal in specified days with the intention of pleasing Allah is called Qurbani (Ritual Slaughter) and sometimes the animal being sacrificed is termed as Ritual Slaughter. Ritual Slaughter is the Sunnah of Sayyiduna Ibrahim that has been retained for this Ummah and our Blessed Prophet (May Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) was ordered to execute ritual slaughter. Allah has stated:
Translation: So offer the Salah for your Rab and execute the ritual slaughter. (Surah Kausar, Ayat-2, Parah-30)
(Bahar e Shariat, Vol-III, Page-162, Hadees 1498)
Breed-specific legislation (BSL), aka "pit bull bans", failed in hundred of cities over the past 30 years and are always a tremendous waste of public resources. Still, Mayor Denis Coderre think it's gonna work in Montreal. But eh, it's not his money, just ours. Meanwhile, nobody's safer because it doesn't work.
Election is November 5th, 2017. Vote Coderre out, Montreal.

Having played handball competitively for 39 years and a practicing orthopaedic surgeon for 26 years, Robert Snyder, MD has treated a number of handball players for hip and knee ailments. It was inevitable that he would need treatment on his knee for DJD.
After three arthroscopic procedures on his right knee, including a meniscal allograft, Dr. Snyders lateral knee compartment continued to degenerate. For two years, despite playing in an un-loading brace, he was unable to make the handball movements required at his competitive level. Dr. Snyder found himself competing in the consolation brackets of tournaments.
In late 2009, Dr. Snyder began investigating available treatment options. Based on his experience and
desire to return to activity, he was particularly interested in the ligament preserving and minimally traumatic solution offered by unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Dr. Snyder researched available options and was intrigued by the ConforMIS iUni. After observing an iUni procedure performed by Wolfgang Fitz, MD, he decided that the iUni was the right solution for him. Dr. Snyder received his own right lateral iUni in November of 2009.
At 2 weeks post-op, Dr. Snyder returned to a full surgical schedule. At 6 weeks post-op he returned to the courts and was free of pain. Today, he is eager to enter the 2010 tournament season.

Looking to the East. A lovely view in spite of the dull weather and some windy conditions.
A very specific brief from Fletcher this year ..... he wanted Dusty from Disney's "Planes 2 .... Fire and Rescue" and Dusty with pontoons. He also especially wanted his candles to be on Dusty's wings !!!
( I had to put one candle on the body though because with an odd number of candles I didn't want the symmetry upset !! LOL )
For those not familiar with the film (!), Dusty puts out a fire in a National Park, hence the side decorations.
Chocolate cake covered with fondant. I tried making Dusty in RKT and sugar but the wings would not hold up, so he was made in polymer clay in the end. At least Fletcher can keep him now !
[ I think Dusty looks a touch like a candelabra with the candles but that's what Fletcher wanted and the customer always gets what they want, as you all know !!! ;o)) ]

There is no exact date for the show. There will be a 2 week window when the Vacate Order will be dropped and the contractors will start their work. All participating artists are prepared to install their work any day within the next month.

A site specific drawing made directly on the walls of the gallery.
The drawing itself (made with the use of a spirograph, the 1960's
art making device for children) contains thousands of various small
circles representing "The Cosmic Dancer", an ancient image of the
divine dating back to prehistoric times in India. The drawing was
completed in three days.

Nataraja
By Anu Kumar
Nataraja, "The Cosmic Dancer" is an ancient image of the divine dating back to prehistoric times in India. The earliest figurines are cast in stone and found amidst the ruins of the Indus Valley civilization (circa 4000-2800 C.E.) Later representations are cast in either bronze or iron and to be found in southern india from the time of the Chola Dynasty (800-1100 A.D.) The most famous of these is installed in the Siva temple at Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu where for centuries it has inspired the imagination and fervent devotion of pilgrims from all over India.
The image is deceptively simple at first glance. It reveals a sure-footed dancer-figure firmly holding down a crouched demon while the other is half-raised in a balancing pose. Four arms reach out expressively - the one on the left holds up a lighted torch from which issue burning flames that form a majestic aureole or a halo of fire around the figure, at once illuminating and encircling it. The right arm holds up a drum, the flying tassels of which indicate a rhythmic song in progress. The lower left hand is held up with palm out in a symbolic gesture, or "mudra", indicating and exhorting fearlessness. The lower right hand reaches gracefully across a lithe torso pointing down towards the delicate foot that is raised in movement. Here rest and salvation are assured to those seeking sincerely. The figure is androgynous with a dangling earring on the left side. Adorned with snakes as armlets, it holds the crescent moon like a jewel-clasp in the hair which is other-wise aflight in all directions in the frenzied ecstasy of dance.
Seen in the mystic imagination of poets from long ago, The Nataraja is a profound vision of the Absolute. This god is by no means aloof or hidden apart from creation in some transfixed realm. Rather He is supremely alive to a present moment in time that is charged with an extraordinary power and bliss. He is utterly joyful and unconstrained. The mystery of such joy lies in a paradox: to be alive is to die each moment and create anew. The Cosmic Dancer has an unstinting capacity to endure his own death and to leap forth into an unknown place where He will be emptied of every familar position or posession, claim or identity - indeed, of life itself. Through such a complete reversal and sacrafice, then, the Dancer attains a new life in an open ground that is now illuminated by the fires of self-knowledge and a triumphant self-awareness. This is the prize, the deepest mystery of His joy. The Nataraja is in complete union- is unity itself as living truth of action.
The sense of unity is expressed through a fine sensitivity to balance by the Cosmic Dancer. Rising above fear and ignorance, this deity knows that movement is an expansion from the limited into the unlimited, of matter into spirit, because He understands balance. Opposites abide in Him rather than exsisiting without: death and creation, lightness and dark, joy and pain, are but complementary poles to be conjoined through harmony and poise. The central axis of the Dancer's body is like a spinal column that knows an exquisite connection to all space and holds it together. Then the entire panorama of the world becomes a play or "lila"- a game, a dance, a spontaneous outflow of energy. The sacred is everywhere and in every step.

Rules of the Flight Deck.
+ Unless you have specific business on the Flight Deck, stay off the Flight Deck and the adjacent catwalks during flight quarters.
+ Wear protective equipment (proper jersey, cranial impact helmet, steel-toed shoes, goggles, sound attenuators, flotation gear).
+ Keep your head on a swivel. It’s what you can’t see that will hurt you.
+ Become familiar with the physical layout of the Flight Deck (i.e., elevators, fire stations, foul deck line, spotting plan, etc).
+ Be alert for aircraft and weapons elevators that are not in the full-up position.
+ Watch when crossing catapult tracks -- step over them, not on them.
+ Be alert for the raising/lowering of jet blast deflectors (JBDs) and elevators.
+ Stay clear of catapult and aircraft landing areas unless participating in those operations.
+ Always assume an aircraft has its engine turning if you see a man in the cockpit.
+ Avoid movable surfaces of an aircraft while the engines are turning.
+ Be alert for unexpected ship movements.
+ Be alert for deck areas that are slick (fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid spills).
+ Minimize the items that you carry in your pockets and keep loose gear secure.
+ Do not wear jewelry such as neck chains or bracelets while on the Flight Deck.
+ Know your fatigue limit, it can kill.
+ Never come up on the Flight Deck via the bow catwalks during launch
operations and never come up on the Flight Deck via the port catwalks during
recovery operations.
+ Never block entrances to the Island structure or exits leading off the catwalks.
+ Never walk in front of an aircraft during arming or de-arming of forward firing ordinance.
+ Avoid propeller arcs and jet intakes/exhausts.
+ Stay as least 25 feet away from all intakes and propellers.

Aboard the U.S.S. Midway (CV-41). U.S.S. Midway Museum, 910 N. Harbor Drive, San Diego, San Diego County, California. June 19, 2018 at 12:09 PM PDT.
The USS Midway is the lead ship of her class and preceding the Essex class. Built for World War Two, however, the Midway was commissioned ten days after the end of World War Two, on September 10, 1945. At the time of her commissioning, the Midway held the record as the largest ship in the world, she held that record until 1955. The Midway served the U.S. Navy for 47 years, seeing action in the Vietnam War, and in Operation Desert Storm. She was decommissioned on April 11, 1992. The Midway was opened to the public as a museum ship on June 7, 2004. The Midway is the only carrier museum in the United States from WWII that is not of the Essex Class.

PERSHING SQUARE/TITLE is a site-specific visual and sound installation by artist Renee Petropoulos. This project continues Renee Petropoulos' exploration of the relationship between the architectural and social culture of LA. The starting point for this project is the original function of the building which housed the Title Guarantee and Trust Co., a business comprised of holding the deeds to LA properties. The work consists of a series of audio commentaries by various voices (people) revealing their points of view on different LA locations. Both amateur and authoritative voices are included and the often poetic, emotional nature of the language of these perceptions reveals unexpected passions for the historic and the current elements of the city. Descriptions of hospital rooms, immigration offices, cinema locations and palatial pink factories serve to illuminate our cumulative and collective response to LA. The fusion of the public and private perceptions of the city furthers ideas about architecture, ownership and individual interior reflection.
The project will be in constant evolution reflecting a changing situation through both audio and visual encounters. The audio component of the interviews will be broadcast from the building being available at street level, and through your car radio (106.9fm) when traveling in the vicinity and via the PhantomGalleriesLA.com website, excerpts made of vinyl lettering, culled from the interviews will be added one sentence at a time on a weekly basis to the Title Guarantee Building Art Space Windows.
“PERSHING SQUARE/TITLE” at the Art Deco/ Zigzag Moderne LA Historic-Cultural Monument on Pershing Square, presents a compelling urban street experience of encountering diverse perspectives of LA. The Pershing Square area is central to Downtown LA’s extraordinary urban transformation as a vital place to work, live and visit. It is a resonant place to consider the issues raised by this public art work.
