DEFINING LINE

Defining Line: a groundbreaking, AR public art exhibition explores how lines connect, divide and define communities. Co-curated by Nancy Baker Cahill and Debra Scacco, the exhibition places powerful, site-relevant works in AR along the Los Angeles River, encouraging visitors to explore, reconsider and interact with the river, and to recognize the key role this vital line plays in shaping the history and experience of moving through Los Angeles.
