Public Sculpture

Now on view

Chloë Bass | #sky #nofilter: Hindsight for a Future America

#sky #nofilter: Hindsight for a Future America is a public sculpture and performance art project by conceptual artist Chloë Bass. The sculpture takes the form of a participatory analemmatic sundial and consists of sixteen blue glass panels that collectively form a partial ellipse. While engaging with the sculpture, the human body functions as the gnomon—the necessary projecting element that casts its shadow onto each glass panel, determining the time of the day. Bass has engraved contemplative phrases onto each sundial panel that appear on the ground below in shadow form.

Sound Bath at Art + Practice

Sol & Sound presents a 432Hz healing sound bath amidst the film installation in Helen Cammock: I Will Keep My Soul at Art + Practice. Filmed in New Orleans in 2022, I Will Keep My Soul is a portrait of a city through the voices of locals and the everyday rhythms of its neighborhoods. Moving across the landscape—from highway to waterway, residential neighborhood to park, studio to procession, treeline to skyline—Cammock’s film gathers personal testimonies from artists, musicians, rappers, students, writers, culture bearers, and arts professionals. Capacity limited to 30 people. Please bring your own yoga mat.

Sat, Jul 15 | 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles Quill Session at Art + Practice

Helen Cammock began practicing the trumpet in New Orleans during her research for Helen Cammock: I Will Keep My Soul, and also became aware of a popular “quill tune”—a song played on a panpipe—that was heard around Congo Square on Sundays when and where enslaved people were free to dance and sing. Join the Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles at Art + Practice as they offer a “quill session” to share the sounds of liberation.
