iwitness
Sunday, April 26, 2015 5 pm
iwitness is a large-scale public art installation by artists Ara Oshagan and Levon Parian on three levels at the Music Center and Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles. It is composed of an inter-connected network of towering asymmetrical photographic sculptures wrapped with massive portraits of eyewitness survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
Audiences are invited to walk amid, beside and among these larger-than-life sculptures whose irregular, angular shapes speak to an unbalanced world, continually at risk of war, ethnic cleansing and genocide. They range in height from eight to fifteen feet and at night are illuminated from the inside, like lanterns. iwitness will be the first public art installation at Grand Park. Sponsored by Los Angeles County Mayor Michael D. Antonovich and an official exhibit of the Month-of-photography-in-Los-Angeles.
Installation opens on Saturday April 25, 5 pm and will run until May 31, 2015.
