Richard Artschwager's blps
In conjunction with the retrospective Richard Artschwager! on view at the Hammer Museum through September 1, LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division), and the Hammer Museum along with The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas present a citywide installation of Richard Artschwager's blps - a word coined by the artist (pronounced "blips") in the late 1960s which consists of black lozenge-shaped marks meant to inspire focused looking and draw our attention to the places and things around us that often go unnoticed. Visit www.blp.la for details (Run time: 2 mins).
