Mobile Mural Lab

Mobile Mural Lab The drafted language within the ordinance positioned original hand painted murals on private property to be illegal.

The Mobile Mural Lab (MML) was conceived as a public art project responding to a Los Angeles sign ordinance that did not discriminate between commercial signs and fine art murals. As a temporary, unconventional solution, we imagined that a mobile wall surface to paint over and over again as well as retrofitting the interior space to educate and inform, was the perfect legal loophole for visual exp

ression within the public realm. Since 2010 the department of city planning has been collaborating with muralists, public artists and concerned citizens to workshop and draft a new mural painting ordinance. As a result, the newly drafted ordinance will go through city legislation, and hopefully by 2013 Angelinos will be able to lawfully produce murals and exercise freedom of expression within the public realm. The MML has evolved into a mobile art studio serving as a space for mural education and production. We teach the history of murals specific to Los Angeles, the politics of public space, as well as traditional and contemporary mural painting techniques. We collaborate with artists, schools, organizations and communities to facilitate interactive mural painting programs, workshops and events.
