LA River Interpretive Signage Program

October 18, 2014 – October 11, 2015
The Bowtie Project

Over the length of the Bowtie Project, artist Rosten Woo created three signs featuring didactic explanatory texts and diagrams describing some of the ecological and governmental processes happening on the site of the Bowtie Project. These signs mimic the form of historical and natural interpretive signage that California State Parks uses. Woo’s project also incorporates a narrative walk, accessed by a call-in number, via bowtiewalk.org, or by using a physical booklet found on site. 

These works will be installed throughout 2014 and 2015. Visitors can still take the tour at any time.

He makes things that help people understand complex systems, re-orient themselves to places, and participate in group decision-making. Most of what he makes is designed with a specific context and community in mind. Collaboration is his primary skill.
