Parking Garage
This event, created by Commonwealth Projects, will take place in a to-be-determined parking garage in the city of Los Angeles. The goal of this project is to create an awe-worthy experience in the non-space of a parking garage. The installation will tap into the history of the city: the light art of Robert Irwin, the words of Joan Didion, the concrete of its architecture, and the embodiment of its car culture- and create an experience true to Los Angeles. This project hints at the notion of possibility for the structure often criticized for its useless excessiveness and unsightliness. It is a modest attempt to find and renew a sense of the ephemeral and spiritual through a simple artistic practice.

The fluorescent lights on each level of an entire parking garage will be altered to emit a color. Each floor will have two colors at each end that gradate towards one another. In addition to light and color, an experimental sound element will accompany each level.
