“Does Venice Care About Art or Parking?”


Two Los Angeles artists, Laddie John Dill and Ed Ruscha, find themselves in a potential legal dispute over a wooden fence (or as is known in property law: easements, adverse possession, equitable conversion, etc.). Specifically, Dill and Ruscha allege that they fenced in a railorad easement (check out a cool two-minute definition on Youtube) in Venice, CA twenty-five years ago and have worked in it ever since. Now the City of Lost Angels wants to tear down this fence and put up a parking lot.

“City bulldozers are expected to begin work on the 100-space parking project soon after a ground-breaking ceremony on Thursday. That has led the owner of the warehouse leased by the two artists to begin preparing a lawsuit seeking to stop the project.”
