Then in East Los Angeles, artist Shizu Saldamando's paintings explore a punk rock, Chicano/a subculture. Her work begins by photographing her subjects in their natural environments such as backyard parties in East LA, then she paints those works on various surfaces: tablecloths, wood, skin (as tattoos). Artbound then travels to the streets of Melrose to uncover the history of LA's street art culture that exploded in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Featuring the main players in the scene such as MEAR ONE, AXIS, DYTCH, LYNK, RAKKA of Dilated Peoples. Then the show heads South to discover the pasajes ("passages") of Tijuana, alleys housing small craft vendors and a burgeoning arts scene that is revitalizing the city. The last segment is a project by the Library Foundation based on Josh Kun's book "Songs in the Key of Los Angeles," where old sheet music housed in the LAPL's collection was mined for songs specific to the city. These songs were then given to several contemporary bands to interpret, arrange, and record. This installment features L.A. folk-country band I See Hawks in L.A., who also perform a live studio set.
