Takashi Murakami's New Culver City Show Includes Monks, Skulls, Flowers, Manga Characters and MoreIn 1973, artist Ana Mendieta poured animal blood on the stoop and sidewalk of her Iowa City apartment and filmed from a car as people walked by, stopping, staring, sidestepping or passing blindly by. The three-minute film is in an upstairs gallery at Blum & Poe in the show artists Julian Hoeber and Alix Lambert curated about what constitutes crime. Called "No Person May Carry a Fish Into a Bar," it's gripping before you've even gotten to the galleries. Outside on the sidewalk is a shrine by artist Robert Buck; inside, there's Gregory Green's Biblebomb, with explosives embedded in the book of Genesis, and Suzanne Lacy's searing photograph of hooded protesters. 2754 S.
