202 antique street lamps comprise the Urban Light sculpture at the entrance of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It’s visible from Wilshire and I’d ridden past the columns of lamps numerous times, but this was my first time seeing it up close.
It’s a piece of artwork that incorporates a number of ideas that I love — it’s recycled, it’s interactive, it’s open for the public to enjoy, and there are an unlimited amount of ways to interpret it.
If it were not for the gigantic, multiple building museum I was about to explore, I could’ve spent an hour at that sculpture alone, discovering the different angles and viewpoints.
