I keep thinking how is a cornfeild a work of art? I call it agriculture. Maybe its the corn itself or maybe its the community putting their thoughts and ideas together to create something out of this public park space that looks like nothing. Not a Cornfeild caused quite a stir in the art community. Lauren's idea in 2005 was to plant a million kernals of corn on a brown 32 acre lot. It would be irrigated by the LA river. It would run for one corn cycle. At the Ace Gallery of Los Angelos she put on another exhibit in which she used 33000 lbs. of the kernals from the corn feild and called it "Bees and meat".10,000 live bees, 90 miles of irragation stripping, 9 foot corn stalks and areal dried lamb carcus were just a few things Lauren used in her exhibit. She carved a maiden out of bees wax and made a chandolier from jars of honey.
