Art attack at Los Angeles underground
Ulla Karttunen participates at ART BELOW LOS ANGELES 2018 in Grand Union Station and the Foshay Masonic Lodge, Culver City, Los Angeles. The show is organised by London based public art enterprise Art Below which uses billboard spaces in underground stations to display art. Art Below has shown in London, Tokyo, Berlin, New Orleans and Los Angeles.
The exhibition opens in Grand Union Station the 29th October and stays there two weeks. This underground station is California’s largest and busiest station and serves almost 110.000 passengers a day. It is known as ‘America’s last great railway station’.
The gallery editions of the works are exhibited in the Culver Masonic Lodge, Los Angeles, where the opening with a special Halloween Art Party is held on 31st October.
Last year, in the first show by Art Below in Grand Union Station, Los Angeles, the wellknown British artist Anish Kapoor displayed a protest artwork criticizing president Donald Trump’s immigration politics. The work titled ’I Like America and America Doesn’t Like Me’ was inspired by the famous piece by Joseph Beuys, ’I Like America and America Likes Me’.

Sheep and Underground Art
Although there is a growing trend, ’selfie sheep’ (above), there still exist some sheep that resist the passion for selfie pose.
What is this innocent fluffy animal doing there amidst those stoned spaghetti & mop heads? God does not know but fake news does. 
God created sheep to show how to be cool without an instagram account, without repeating your nose in asocial media.
