“the art punctuates a choose-your-own adventure out in the world that misses you as much as you miss it.”
Durden & Ray is ready with We Are Here/Here We Are — a Google Maps-based self-guided tour of outdoor/street view site-specific sculptures opening at about 100 locations across the county, from DTLA to Long Beach, the Valley to Venice. “As its organizers note, “As the streets remain empty, the restaurants and coffee shops remain closed, and the houses of social engagement remain shuttered, we are rediscovering “real life” through our homes, our neighborhoods and ourselves.” Shana Nys Dambrot - LA Weekly

Featured Review by Christopher Knight
“Ninety-seven works have been installed all over Los Angeles County in places viewable from the street or sidewalk. Unlike other such art exhibitions — a small but growing phenomenon, since most museums and galleries closed and the migration of art to online digital platforms has proved less than satisfying — this one is not concentrated in a particular part of the city. Instead, it embraces L.A. sprawl.
Sites include a bus bench, a home’s front yard, the roll-up door on a unit in an industrial park, a gym’s front window, a home’s overgrown backyard, the entry to an abandoned parking garage and scores more.”
“Artists are everywhere in the L.A. sprawl, living and working among us. Good to know, especially in tough times.”
