ISLANDS OF LA is an evolving art-research experiment that began exploring traffic islands in September of 2007 to foster discussion and create community. The focus at this time is on the use and availability of interstitial or in-between islands of public space where people can safely and legally assemble at any time without a special permit or fee.
In short, this project uses islands as a vehicle for creative, legal and self-reflective activities. The intention is to learn about and impact how we interact with each other and the urban environment.
