Metro Art in Los Angeles

When we think about getting around Los Angeles, we think of a vast network of freeways and cars stacked up on the 405. Yet, the L.A. Metro does exist. Since 1989 the Metro of Los Angeles has commissioned artists to integrate their work in various locations in the Los Angeles transportation system. Not only does the artist’s work become more accessible as metro art but the commuter becomes a key ingredient in the shared experience. In this dance, there is a collaboration of space as the metro rider becomes the mover in relationship to the fixedness and flavor of the various metro stops’ artwork.
