Not a Cornfield!

So, when I got to LA this time I rang up my friend, artist Lauren Bon and said “Let’s catch up! What are you up to?” Lauren sent me a link to Not a Cornfield. Lauren has embarked on a project that is part earth sculpture, part experiment and part urban healing. 32 acres of brownfield in downtown LA have been cleaned, millions of seeds planted and beautiful things are developing as well as questions about what constitutes public space. Lauren also formed FarmLab which itself is another hybrid – so much that’s interesting these days is hybrid! – think tank/art production fund. Lauren, you always blow me away when I see you but this time you really did it.

Check out the website (which is good, btw) www.notacornfield.com and keep tuned for more pics from me.
