Audience: For your experiential pleasure, I invite you to drive the length of San Fernando Road from north to south, stopping at 12 sites, and experiencing 8 pieces in your car between sites from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. The 20-or-so works are performances, installations, discussions and happenings designed with the goal of reimagining unused urban space and driving down-time. In Los Angeles there are massive amounts of land that everyone drives by but no one ever goes to, some spaces even as desolate and hidden from the populace as a rural mountain road. What if these places become the destinations to generate a new kind of LA experience, bringing meaning and attention to a collection of these less obvious destinations? This event is unapologetically LA; performance times are loose and overlap so you can be on your own schedule: to find parking, to stop at a drive-thru to get a smoothie from Jack in the Box, to get lost on purpose, to daydream or just to spend some good quality time with your car. The drive officially starts in Sylmar at the northern end of San Fernando Road at its intersection with the Sierra Highway, and ends in Lincoln Heights at its intersection with Pasadena Avenue before turning into Avenue 20. Please bring cameras, notepads, cell phones, tape recorders—any method of documentation you prefer. Submit all documentation of events to svandyck.sanfernando@blogger.com and it will be instantly posted on http://sanfernandoroad.blogspot.com.
