The Center for
Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) June 12 - July 31 Land/Use/Action
includes an exhibition at CoCA of CLUI photodocuments and artifacts, with
an accompanying guidebook. Better still, CLUI will be conducting escorted
tours of unusual and exemplary sites featured in the exhibition at
CoCA. The
Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) is a nonprofit research organization
based in Los Angeles that explores the nature and consequences of human
interaction with the earth's surface. Focusing on landscapes that have
been altered by the hands of industry, art, commerce or defense as different
categories of "industrial readymades," CLUI offers a different lens through
which to understand land use and action. CLUI highlights the many approaches
to land use and perspectives of the landscape, emphasizing the multiplicity
of views regarding the use of our terrestrial and geographic resources. CLUI
