Rosten Woo, ‘What Water Wants’ at L.A. River
During twin crises of flood and drought, how can Angelenos reimagine their relationship with water? Clockshop, a nonprofit that works with artists to deepen the connection between communities and public land, has partnered with Los Angeles-based artist Rosten Woo for “What Water Wants,” a temporary art commission on the L.A. River. Part of Getty’s PST Art: Art & Science Collide program, “What Water Wants” takes place in a section of the Glendale Narrows channel in Elysian Valley, placing visitors in one of the city’s most misunderstood and complex infrastructural systems. In a 30-minute experience, Woo’s audio tour moves between a guided meditation and speculative disaster horror, evoking multiple perspectives of the river’s history and future. Look out for group activations in December; until then you can download Woo’s sound experience on the Clockshop website and participate on your own. Through Dec. 31.

J.Hannah x JB Blunk Rings
