edition of 45, each edition unique. Comprised of a public intervention on a freeway wall, billboard project, and gallery exhibition, Extracted takes simulation and site specificity as its point of departure. Ochoa is critical of the social divide of the city, and his work is particularly geared toward the investigation of geography and gentrification in Los Angeles, specifically by investigating the form of the freeway wall. This edition was produced in conjunction with his exhibition at LAXART in September 2006. http://laxart.org/contemporary/?s=Ruben+Ochoa/
