Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “Anytime I get up to the Strip I’m confronted by two things: How many buildings still do exist, and how much things have changed. But they will soon be doing plenty of Rambo-Vegas-style projects that will span Sunset Boulevard with skywalk bridges and mirrored escalator malls that will be cruel to the eyes. It’s cancerous and ultimately fatal. I wish time would stand still.” Ed Ruscha, as quoted in Interview, July, 2005, article by Richard Prince.
