Carlo Maghirang: ANITO
1245 N. Spring St., Los Angeles, CA 90012
Saturday, August 23 at 1:00 PM 3:00 PM
Ends Sep 7, 2025
Public art installation at the River Station Roundhouse turntable LACE is proud to present Carlo Maghirang’s ANITO, a public art installation at LA State Historic Park, on view starting next weekend, from August 23–September 7, 2025. Inspired by the same idol he encountered as a child during a near-death experience with his grandfather, this collection of figures and the parts that comprise them tells a playful narrative on identity-creation. ANITO is a continuation of a series that remaps his connections to his country through the self, linking memories to spirituality and myth. Activations of this work include two public programs at the park: Saturday, August 23, 1PM, performance by Jobel Medina Saturday, August 30, 1PM, performance by Anna Luisa Petrisko Light refreshments will be provided. We are also happy to host our friends at White Rabbit Truck, who will be offering Filipino fusion bites during ANITO’s activations. Support for this program is provided by Karen Hillenburg, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, California Arts Council, and the National Performance Network.
