Project Description
Clockshop will commission a residency from the artist Rafa Esparza titled ‘Puente’, executed at the Bowtie Project and completed in partnership with the surrounding community that cherishes this piece of post-industrial land, soon to become a new state park. The project, centred upon the community’s production of traditional adobe bricks, will produce a new sculpture that commemorates the community’s past, with assistance from LA artists.
Organization Summary
As a Los Angeles-based arts and culture nonprofit, Clockshop produces free public programming and commissions contemporary artist projects on public land to better connect Angelenos to the land we live on.
We address the climate crisis as a cultural problem that requires equitable cultural solutions. Through long-term collaborations with artists, like-minded partners, and local stakeholders, Clockshop promotes ecological stewardship and climate resilience among the communities we serve.
Our projects center working-class communities of color in Los Angeles and aim to support the wellbeing and vitality of multiple communities. Whether Indigenous, African American, Latinx, Asian American, Pacific Islander, or immigrants living in LA, we shape the city’s future together.
We bring this mission to our work at Los Angeles State Historic Park in Chinatown, and Rio de Los Angeles State Park (“The Bowtie”) in Glassell Park, in collaboration with California State Parks.
