WHP

If anyone happens to be looking for me tonight....Artist Alexandra Grant and designer Mike Niemann discuss their collaboration on the Love House with Edgar Arceneaux, Director of Watts House Project (WHP). Grant conceived of the Love House--placing a sculpture of the word love on the roof of the Cerant family home of 107th Street--as a lightning rod to draw attention and reseources to the community across from the Watts Towers in South Los Angeles. Watts House Project is an artist-driven, collaborative redevelopment project between residents, artists, and architects to find creative solutions to everyday problems facing the Watts Towers community.
