The Glendale Arts & Culture Commission presents Estranged Landscape, an immersive installation designed specifically for the Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station in Glendale, a city where urban life meets natural landscape. Inspired by the surrounding mountains and canyons, the installation reimagines natural topography using lightweight, reflective fabric suspended by ceiling-mounted strings to form fluid, voluminous shapes. Fuzzy textiles and color-shifting lights enrich the surreal experience, inviting viewers to encounter beauty in an unexpected urban setting.

  Yuntao Xu is a designer and licensed architect based in Los Angeles. He is the co-founder of Studio KOMA, a creative and architectural practice in LA. Since beginning his professional career in 2019, Yuntao has developed a strong command of diverse design platforms and cultivated a refined sensitivity to aesthetics. In addition to architectural practice, he actively engages in art-making, with a focus on digital fabrication, evocative forms, and material experimentation.

  The exhibit opened on Oct. 6 and will be on view through Jan. 8. An artist reception will be hosted by the Adams Square Neighborhood Association on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 2:30 p.m. Adams Square Mini Park Gas Station is located at 1020 E. Palmer Ave. in Glendale. 

This temporary art installation is sponsored by the Glendale Arts & Culture Commission through funding from the Urban Art Program, and support from Glendale Library, Arts & Culture, Glendale Community Services & Parks, and the Adams Hill Neighborhood Association.
