Artist Debra Scacco was working on an art project about the LA River when she visited “LACI” (Los Angeles Clean Technology Incubator), and was struck by the facilities’ impressive list of equipment, including laser cutters, a horizontal band saw and a vacuum oven. Tools that are rarely available for an artist. She saw an opportunity for exchange, between the people working with various starts up on green initiatives at LACI and artists that work with climate related themes. She founded AIR LACI, an artist-in-residency program open for research lead L.A. based artists. We talk about this special program, that perhaps is more of a fellowship than a residency. https://theartword

#24 - Debra Scacco on AIR LACI

Debra Scacco’s practice is tied to the nature of a line. In her artist statement she writes: “My work is a study of lines of lineage,  lines of passage, lines of policy. I aim to question and contest these lines, reflecting a more accurate representation of our layered past by examining the environmental, cultural and political structures of permission by which we live. And in doing so, I seek to highlight lines that are historically undocumented, unarchived, silenced.”Her practice works toward contextualizing her own immigrant history and tracking the lines that make up the paths she and others have taken. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2012, Debra has dedicated her work to the LA River. She has a public installation housed on display at the Los Angeles State Historic Park titled “Origins: Los Angeles River 1815/1825” documenting the previous courses of the LA River; and  curated ”La Reina de Los Angeles”:  an exhibition with a focus on the LA River that opened on September 16, 2018 at Descanso Gardens.To learn more about Debra Scacco visit: http://www.debrascacco.com/

Drawing from her coming-of-age as the child of an Italian immigrant, the othering she encountered as a city kid residing in the rural South, and her experience as an immigrant living and working abroad, LA-based visual artist Debra Scacco creates multimedia artwork that charts a course towards understanding cultural identity (including her own), exploring "placelessness" and pinpointing personal history as a port of entry for continual investigation of geography and environment.
