Los Angeles Urban Rangers
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 2 min
The Los Angeles Urban Rangers is a group of American scholars and artists who interpret domestic and international urban landscapes using the perspective of the United States National Park Service.[1][2] Founded in 2003,[3] they are best known for their Malibu Public Beach Safari, an urban safari tour of the affluent Malibu beach area of Los Angeles.[4][5][6] In 2011 the group also led tours of the LA river.[7][8]
The Urban Rangers' Portable Ranger Station was shown at the 2009 International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam in the Netherlands Architecture Institute. Their work was included in "Actions: What You Can Do With The City", at The Graham Foundation in Chicago, and in the Experimental Geography on the road show. In 2009 the Urban Rangers received a 2009 Emerging Artist Fellowship award from the CA Community Foundation in conjunction with the Getty Trust.[9]
