Art attack at Los Angeles underground

The Finnish artist Ulla Karttunen participates at ART BELOW LOS ANGELES 2018 in Grand Union Station and Culver Masonic Lodge, Los Angeles. The show is organised by London based public art enterprise Art Below which uses billboard spaces in underground stations to display art. Art Below has shown in London, Tokyo, Berlin, New Orleans and Los Angeles.

The exhibition opens in Grand Union Station the 29th October and stays there two weeks. This underground station is California’s largest and busiest station and serves almost 110.000 passengers a day. It is known as ‘America’s last great railway station’. Together with this public show, the gallery editions of the works are exhibited in the Culver Masonic Lodge, Los Angeles, where the opening with a special Halloween Art Party will be on the 31st October.

Last year, in the first show by Art Below in Grand Union Station, Los Angeles, the wellknown British artist Anish Kapoor displayed a protest artwork criticizing president Donald Trump’s immigration politics. The work titled 'I Like America and America Doesn’t Like Me' was inspired by the famous piece by Joseph Beuys 'I Like America and America Likes Me'.
