A new film by Eric Minh Swenson UNDER THE SAME SKY Like the restless spirits that came before us we come to Los Angeles for the natural beauty, climate, economic opportunities and diversity. We take in the vast city the breathtaking ocean and sunsets. We endeavor to build our dreams into reality and as we build we notice the souls around us who have also come here with a dream, sometimes we see them fall. In these magical hours with all the beautiful colors we take time to notice and record what is happening around us, we see detritus in our natural wonder, and we see opportunities for change. Inspired by a small study of a wave made from a discarded street poster Under The Same Sky lands at the destination of Route 66 - Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. Made primarily of recycled, salvaged and donated materials from the Los Angeles area and from the Fairplex facilities this space recycles and reflects our L.A. “A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going.” John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath The artist wishes to thanks the many hearts and hands who assisted in the production of this exhibition especially David Ntephe as well as Lamar Advertising, Michelle Weaver, Bruce Liebert, Brainworks Art, Mako Painting Mike Larini, Vista Paint Matt Johnson, Carlisle Vandervoort, Joyce Zizzo, Christine Souza, Thomas Adams, Dominic Adams, Angela Mary Magick, Bird, Boone and Jason LaBounty, The whole team at the Fairplex , Millard Sheets Art Center and especially Thomas Canavan.
