Road Tripping

Launching this week, The Manifest Destiny Billboard Project is a series of artist-produced billboards that will unfold along the Interstate 10 Freeway from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This cross-country art project will map out the American fantasy of Westward expansionism by moving through and punctuating the narrative of the landscape itself.

Initiated by artist Zoe Crosher, the project will be an involved collaboration between LAND and Crosher and several artists, including Eve Fowler, Bobbi Woods, John Baldessari, Matthew Brannon and Mario Ybarra Jr.

This project will allow each of the artists to explore their shared investigations into the development of society and cities, specifically the westward manifestation that has built Los Angeles into the cultural epicenter that it claims today.
