The Arroyo Arts Collective’s site-specific temporary installation exhibition, Zone 5 in the City: Art Sustaining Nature is a project that brings professional artists together with High School students to explore the issue of sustainability through the construction of site-specific installations on the grounds of the Audubon Center at Debs Park in Los Angeles.
The project name refers to permaculture's classification of “Zone 5” as the wilderness zone from which we learn the important lesson of working with nature not against it.
Local artists, including yours truly, were asked to consider two questions:
1. What distinguishes the local ecosystem in and around the 17 acres surrounding the Audubon Center?
2. How can we best safeguard the resources needed for a high quality of life for all the members (human, plant and animal) of the Northeast community for many generations.
This is how ecopop answered:
Trading Spaces: With elements of their former life still intact, these uniquely designed birdhouses constructed from discarded tradeshow displays are a constant reminder of consumerism and waste management, and their effects on our ecosystem.
