Join Clockshop in L.A. State Historic Park for the opening reception and panel discussion of Rodrigo Valenzuela’s commission, the underpinning, which serves as both a sculptural installation and a stage for public programming. The reception takes place from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9 in which the artist will be joined in conversation by architect and historian Manuel Shvartzberg Carrió to reveal Valenzuela’s processes. The artist’s work mimics the foundation of a home and is informed by the standardized government housing of the artist’s childhood in Chile and the site’s proximity to city-operated William Mead Homes, a public housing project.
