“Not A Cornfield” is a project (2005) by Artist Lauren Bon. It’s a living sculpture in the form of a field of corn east of Downtown Los Angeles. This is an artwork in the form of a field of corn that transformed 32-acres of post-industrial LA and transitioned it to its next phase of life as the Los Angeles State Historic Park. Its aims are at giving focus for reflection and action in a city unclear about where it's energetic and historical center is.
This art piece redeems a lost fertile ground, transforming what was left from the industrial era into a renewed space for the public."Not A Cornfield" is about these very questions, polemics, arguments and discoveries. It is about redemption and hope. It is about the fallibility of words to create productive change. Artists need to create on the same scale that society has the capacity to destroy. This is kindda an evidence to prove that tranforming the left of industrial into an useful and exaclty new space is possible. I already had a chance to see it when I went to Farmlab. The whole area now are in used instead of useless public land.
