Freeway Joyride

Open to the Art School only. This course may be
open to students at other year levels, and in
other Schools, by Permission of Instructor.
Freeway Joyride: 21st Century Lane-Change will
explore the intricacies of interconnected
communities via the Southern California Freeway
system (busiest and most congested freeway system
in the nation). The concrete ribbons that tie
urban, suburban, rural, desert, mountain, and
beach areas will be examined with requisite rest
stops at unique and highly public sites that make
Los Angeles County an endlessly mythical road
that reaches past the horizon while touching the
imagination of the world. The role of the artist
in exploiting the richness of the global impact
of local car culture will be investigated via
readings, driving tours, as well as through the
creation of on-site photographic, written, and
performative works.
