Freewheelin’ on World Water Day

An epic public artwork, “Bending the River Back into the City,” will be topic one on Saturday.

This Saturday, Metabolic Studio dips its toes into World Water Day with installment No. 62 of its “100 Conversations About Water” series, which commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Los Angeles Aqueduct.

In this conversation, Lauren Bon will discuss her much-anticipated public artwork, Bending the River Back into the City. The sculpture will use an inflatable dam to divert water from the L.A. River, which will be lifted by a water wheel and treated for public use.

The dialogue with the artist takes place on March 22, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Lincoln Heights Senior Center, 2323 Workman Street in Los Angeles. Refreshments and a light lunch will be served. For reservations, email [email protected] or call (213) 926-4785.
