When pedestrians and drivers head under the bridge formed over Wilshire Boulevard by Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s David Geffen Galleries, they will soon be treated to a new permanent large-scale video installation by artist Diana Thater.
As the sun set on a recent weeknight, Thater stood along the busy thoroughfare and pointed up at an early test run of her new piece Oo Fifi, Five Days In Claude Monet’s Garden, Part 3, expected to debut in September as both the largest work of Thater’s career and the first time an artist has had a permanent outdoor video installation in a public space.
