Christopher Hawthorne Hates the Building, Loves April Greiman's Rice

Perpetually picky Christopher Hawthorne has hated on Lorcan O’Herlihy, gone out of his way to define ugly, compared Rem to Rove, and this week, trashes Arquitectonica‘s new project in LA. But maybe if he focused on reviewing gigantic public art installations, he would be a lot happier. Because this week, even though he despised the building it straddles, he sure loved April Greiman‘s rice bowl:

What caught my attention first was a huge, brightly colored mural by April Greiman, which covers two ends of the building as they converge at the corner and shows an abstracted rice bowl.
