WATER CANNING | CURRENT:LA

As part of the CURRENT:LA Public Art Biennial, the Art|Sci Collective presents a sculptural installation consisting of glass jars containing water from throughout the region that sets the stage for a water awareness workshop that includes instructions for creative tasks on the topic that participants can perform and upload to waterbodies.org. In collaboration with the Art|Sci Collective, Dr. Olivia Osborne will present her research on how silver nanoparticles in consumer products end up in water bodies/rivers affecting the aquatic environment.

About CURRENT LA:
Every two years, the CURRENT:LA Public Art Biennial will focus on an issue affecting Los Angeles and other global cities to inspire civic discourse and use contemporary art to deepen connections between people. Putting a new spin on the international biennial, CURRENT:LA democratizes the way people access art by featuring temporary art projects and public programs at outdoor locations, taking art out of the museum environment and into LA's diverse neighborhoods. This citywide cultural event is presented by Mayor Eric Garcetti and the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. The first presentation of the CURRENT:LA Public Art Biennial in 2016 is funded by DCA and Bloomberg Philanthropies through its Public Art Challenge initiative.
