Urban Light by Chris Burden at the LA County Museum of Art

Last week, on my way to dinner, I drove past this sculpture/light show for the first time. I’d seen photos of Urban Light on the LA blogs, but hadn’t made my way over to the Miracle Mile. Even driving by, one gets a much more spectacular view than in the photos. I returned to LACMA yesterday for the Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement show. I went through the show rather quick because I only had an hour before closing time (I went after 5 pm when admission is free). I’ll definitely go back to check out some of the pieces I rushed through.
