When a city loses its center, it becomes its own connections: its intricate pathways of sprawl, its roads and its highways. Bettina Korek, founder of Los Angeles-based civic arts organization ForYourArt (http://www.foryourart.com) builds a practice that mirrors Los Angeles, the city she lives and works in, by creating physical and online platforms for connecting art and publics, cultivating relationships, connecting the dots. Korek selects two videos produced in the 1970s which play out themes of connectivity and separation, ecology and place. In the BBC special Reyner Banham Loves Los Angeles, "LA needs explaing," and the famed architectural critic tours the city in a "Baede-Kar" named for the father of the modern guidebook, Karl Baedeker. Korek too is "explaining LA," devising a guide for LA art. Certainly, ForYourArt's most steady contribution has been its widely distributed calendars of events.  Perhaps, in providing resources for new collectors, partnering with institutions, and producing public works, ForYourArt leans into Powers of Ten. This famous 1977 film by Charles and Ray Eames pictures the relative size of the universe, expanding the size of the frame into space and contracting it into the atoms within a human hand by multiples of 10, framing an ecology of connection on a large and small scale.
