ロサンゼルスカウンティ美術館のインスタグラム(lacma) - 2月5日 04時42分

Chris Burden was born in Boston, Massachusetts and moved to California in 1965. During the early 1970s, Burden’s first mature works were characterized by the idea that the truly important, viable art of the future would not be objects, but that art would be ephemeral and address political, social, environmental, and technological change. In a 2008 conversation with LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan, Burden shared a little bit about how "Urban Light" came to life: ⠀
⠀
"Well, this wasn’t something I planned to do. One day I was walking around at the Rose Bowl Flea Market with my friend Paul Schimmel and his son, Max, and Max came running over and said, “Oh, you should check these out, Chris.” I went over and I saw two of these antique lamps spread in parts. The man who was selling them, Jeff Levine, said, “Oh yeah, they’re genuine. They’re from the ’20s. You can buy them both. I’ll give you a real good price and I’ll deliver them.” So he brought them out and I said, “Do you have any more?” He said, “Yeah, I got four more like that.” I said, “Well, okay, I’ll buy those too.” Over the course of a year I bought about 70 that he had in his backyard, all in this state of component parts. I lugged them all up to my place in Topanga." #UrbanLightTurns10 ⠀
