Find Calder Greenwood’s Hidden Sculpture in Elysian Park

gauntlet

We love artists who use their powers to make Los Angeles a better and more magical place. One such artist is Calder Greenwood, who you know from his cool, totally random paper mache installations around town, and his collaborations with Wildlife such as the spider hanging from the 6th street bridge.

His latest is a secret sculpture that is hidden in "Elysian Forest," not far from "Dodger Castle". It celebrates the epic 80's Arcade Game Gauntlet. If you're too young to remember Atari's Guantlet, it was one of the best arcade games of its time, with up to 4 players playing at the same time using one of four characters (barbarian, valkyrie, wizard, and an elf) which have now been immortalized by Calder Greenwood in paper mache in a secret location.

Want to find it??? Use the map below! If you're not Christian, this would make a fine substitute for an Easter Egg hunt this weekend...

Street Vendors Successfully Sue City to Remove Illegal ‘No Vending’ Signs And Won

L.A. will also have to reimburse the street vendors for their past fines relating to this controversial sign. However, this does not include any other fines related to equipment restrictions or lack of permits. This also means that while a vendor can’t be cited for vending in areas like the Hollywood Walk of Fame anymore, they can still get cited for other city regulations.
