This Week in Aht

My neighborhood has been going through a mini renaissance lately. There's been all sorts of great public art popping up around me. This piece I'm standing in front of is by the artist Chris Burden. I knew him only as a performance artist who did a project in the 1970s where he invited people to an art gallery and made them sit and watch while he shot himself in the arm. This piece requires a lot less cleanup. It's called Urban Light and it's made up of 200 antique street lamps from the 1930s tightly arranged in a cluster on the new plaza at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. I'd been walking past it for weeks while they constructed it. I thought the lamps were set there by the construction crew before they were to be installed across the plaza. I had no idea it was AHT.
