Chris Burden’s #UrbanLight repurposes vintage L.A. street lamps and turns them into a magical, instant landmark of Los Angeles.

Burden’s work features 202 vintage cast-iron street lamps, mostly from the Los Angeles area, which he painstakingly collected, restored and painted gray. (His first purchase was at the Rose Bowl flea market!) Through a fortuitous chain of events, his lamps ended up clustered as “Urban Light” on a plaza outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or #LACMA, back in 2008.

Explains Burden in the placard beside his work: “By placing the 202 human-scale lamps very close together and in long colonnades, I have usurped the lamp’s function as a streetlamp. Together they form a sculpture which I call Urban Light. The viewer’s experience of traversing through these tightly spaced fluted columns is an exalted one that recalls the marvel of seeing and walking through classic Greek and Roman architecture or a European cathedral. The feelings of recollection and wonder transform the street lamps, day or night, into the sculpture Urban Light.” via theretrologist.com
