Rise&Fall is a mobile art installation and music event commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The exhibition features artwork interpreting the theme 'bringing down walls/breaking down barriers' (both literally and symbolically) and music performed by Turkish-German DJ/Producer, DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu. Artists, from amateur to professional, are invited to submit digital versions of their art along with a short description of what 'bringing down walls' means to them - either as directly related to the Berlin Wall or on a more symbolic, personal, cultural or social level. The goal is to create an interactive environment that celebrates freedom without barriers and what that looks like to all kinds of people.
From LA Culture Net:
Dear Artists,
This coming Friday September 18th, we celebrate Park[ing] Day LA, when artists, architects, designers, restaurant owners, various businesses, neighborhood councils, and activists will step up to the curb, put a quarter into the meter, and create a temporary park in a parking space.
Park[ing] Day originated in 2005 when Rebar, a San Francisco based art and design collective, transformed a metered parking spot into a park-for-a-day in an effort to make a public comment on the lack of quality open space in American cities.
I've been involved with Park[ing] Day in Los Angeles (and have created all of LA's online presence), since it's beginning in 2007 and I would love for LA Culture Net readers to be involved in this fun event.
