Talk of the Town: Portraits by Edward Steichen From the Hollander Collection
|
|
From 1900 through the 1960s, Edward Steichen photographed gowns, buildings, artists, actresses and aircraft characters. Usually the images had an air of seriousness, even if they were melodramatic, like the one of sculptor Auguste Rodin staring at (and posed like) his iconic sculpture The... More >> |

Pumpkin Festival
|
|
|
With its gorgeously remote, rural setting, nestled in a ring of rolling hills, and its eye-poppingly vivid sprawl of 10,000 or so pumpkins, Canyon Country landmark Lombardi Ranch's annual Pumpkin Festival never fails to deliver plenty of seasonal kicks and idyllic, agrarian atmosphere.... More >> |

James Turrell: A Retrospective
|
|
|
It's up for debate whether James Turrell is a sculptor, painter, architect, Light and Space artist or earthwork artist. We vote for all of the above, and more. But however you cast your ballot, you can't help but be a fan of Turrell's transcendent Skyspaces -- specially built rooms (and... More >> |

John Van Hamersveld: Drawing Attention
|
|
|
Of all the factors propelling the cultural revolution of the 1960s, you could argue that none was more pervasive and profound than the music -- and integral to its appeal was the visuals that went with it. The psychedelic avant-garde in the era's iconic album covers, posters and magazine... More >> |

Junipero Serra and the Legacies of the California Missions
|
|
|
Junipero Serra, the Franciscan friar who founded the first missions in California and famously compelled Native Americans to convert through fervent chest-beating, has been exhumed multiple times since his 1784 death. Once in 1882, a friar distributed threads from Serra's dug-up burial stole.... More >> |

Levitated Mass
|
|
|
Just when you thought you'd figured out what art really is, Levitated Mass by Michael Heizer is where modern art and the Protestant work ethic weirdly intersect, which is to say that a 340-ton granite megalith painstakingly transported over two weeks from Riverside sits in a 456-foot-long slot,...

Shaping Power: Luba Masterworks From the Royal Museum for Central Africa
|
|
|
The word "power" often connotes bigness -- the tallest buildings, the strongest weapons, the deepest bank accounts. So the smallness of the emblems in "Shaping Power," the debut exhibition in LACMA's newly opened African Art galleries, is striking. The show consists largely of exquisitely... More >> |

Sixth Street Mural at the Standard, Downtown L.A.
|
|
|
John Knuth's mural, part of the Sixth Street Mural at the Standard program, shows red-orange smoke billowing out against a black background. It's the photograph of an emergency flare against a night sky, and, seen shooting up out of the desert, or on the side of a road, it probably would have... More >> |

Gogol Bordello
|
|
|
One of the great things about the sprawling, three-ring circus known as Gogol Bordello is that no animals are ever harmed during their riotous performances. Except for human animals, that is. Lead singer Eugene Hutz usually remains unscathed when he flings himself about the stage, climbs into... More >> |

While you were busy swing dancing, JC Coccoli's been hosting a night of "speakeasy-esque" standup comedy. Hear her explain why Keep it Clean Comedy came to exist.
