Neon Nights

I've seen this sign glowing in the darkness just north of downtown L.A. for longer than I can remember.
Now, spotting it from a distance is easy. Figuring out exactly how to access it is somewhat trickier. Tonight figured out where that illusive side street is. :-)


Really, I was just tired of shooting flowers. LOL
I did a short Google search and found out the building is owned by something called FarmLab. That's as far as I Googled.
Great night shot

"Concrete is Fluid is a project completed through collaboration with Lauren Bon and Farmlab. The project was a proposal for the Hayward Gallery in London. It was to be a part of their summer fountain series, on the South Bank of the River Thames. It is a deployable piece meant to serve as an ambassador to the reclamation of urban environments. It is now a centerpiece of the “Under Spring” event space, under the Spring St bridge, Los Angeles. The piece was created with an inspiration based on the similarities between the “Under Spring” location and the Hayward Gallery (on the banks of the River Thames). Both are concrete environments bordering industrial rivers. The piece communicates a simple but often unknown material property of concrete, and its relationship to the water it borders."

Interesting project, great shot, kudos for tracking it down!!
