Featuring assemblage, folk art, vernacular graphics, images of the Watts Towers, art from the LACMA collection selected by Ybarra and the Slanguage Studio, as well as a newly commissioned sculpture by Ybarra, the exhibition will connect the public art works done at the Watts residence with the LACMA campus.
