Having just wrapped LAND/ART in New Mexico at the end of last month, the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) is back in LA, offering a guided tour of the city’s oil wells on December 18, 2009.
The bus tour is an event in conjunction with URBAN CRUDE: The Oil Fields of the Los Angeles Basin, on show in CLUI’s space since October 30th, in which the Center examines the oil field beneath they city they call home.
Los Angeles is the most urban oil field, where the industry operates in cracks, corners, and edges, hidden behind fences, and camouflaged into architecture, pulling oil out from under our feet.
Two more oil themed exhibits are upcoming this spring. Details on this and the forthcoming shows can be found here and here, respectively.
