Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside, Wooden Indian Burial Ground, The Lower 48 The Satellite : 9:00 p.m. October 8
"Never have I had a rational mind," Sallie Ford spits out defiantly between stomping drumbeats and coolly fuzzed-out reverb guitar chords that hang ominously in the air on her aptly titled third album, Untamed Beast. "Never gonna apologize for being so intense. How the hell would that make any... More >>
Silver Lake	Music

The Goran Bregovic Wedding & Funeral Band UCLA Royce Hall : 8:00 p.m. October 8
Sarajevo-born composer and bandleader Goran Bregovic leads a scarifyingly tight ensemble of strings, horns, choir, brass and percussion. The group is a purveyor of traditional Balkan tunes for any occasion. Best known for his score for the 1989 film Time of the Gypsies, Bregovic delivers a... More >>

As the title indicates, Humor Abuse is no lighthearted evening of sidesplitting laughs. Demonstrating elaborate pratfalls, juggling and elegant comedy bits, Lorenzo Pisoni's solo clown show charts his upbringing as a fourth-generation vaudevillian and performer, focusing mainly on a... More >>

Ivan Morley Richard Telles Fine Art : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 12
Ivan Morley's A True Tale paintings were painted onto cracked glass, then peeled off and affixed to aluminum, but it might not matter much whether you know this or not. You'll still get that sense of a shattered surface when you looked at them, and the twisty shapes and colors that vaguely... More >>

Pumpkin Festival Lombardi Ranch : Daily until October 31
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 Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until April 6
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 Cal State Northridge Art Galleries : Every Mon., Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 26
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 >>
San Fernando Valley	Art - Galleries

John Mason: Crosses, Figures, Spears, Torques David Kordansky Gallery : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 26
From the late 1950s through the '70s, John Mason made monuments that sometimes riffed on the prehistoric, like his 1957 ceramic Vertical Spear form. Or sometimes he made pop products seem prehistoric, like the 1959 ceramic Blue Wall, which looks like petrified blue jeans spread across a wall.... More >>

Neïl Beloufa Francois Ghebaly Gallery : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until November 2

Werner Herzog: Hearsay of the Soul The Getty Center : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until January 19
His music is eerie, dreamy, jarring, richly harmonious -- an arresting blend of traditional and experimental classical motifs. Dutch cellist/composer Ernst Reijseger has long been a pioneer in jazz, improvisational and contemporary classical music, appreciated by, among other luminaries, Werner... More >>

Chris Lipomi: Clothed Ascension; Jedediah Ceasar LAXART : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 19
When designer Halston partnered with JC Penney early in the 1980s, it was something of a first: a couture name making clothes for the masses. The ads for the match all said, "You're Looking Smarter Than Ever." One showed a lady in bold pink pantyhose, a matching pink dress and white hat... More >>

Levitated Mass Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun.
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 Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until January 5
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 >>

Talk of the Town: Portraits by Edward Steichen From the Hollander Collection Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until December 8
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 >>

Devin Troy Strother: Look at all my shit! Richard Heller Gallery : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 26
Some of the collaged-together paintings in Devon Troy Strother's show "Look at all my shit," on view at Richard Heller Gallery, have mouthfuls for titles. One of the longest belongs to the painting in which pitch-black figures with afros ride tangerine-colored cheetahs among multiple layers of... More >>

Sixth Street Mural at the Standard, Downtown L.A. 24/7 Restaurant at The Standard : Daily until November 1
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 >>

Steve Roden: Rag-picker; Dave McKenzie: Where the Good Lord Split You Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. until October 19
"Ragpicker," artist Steve Roden's new show at Susanne Vielmetter Projects, includes a fantastic suite of smallish drawings. They're in the second gallery, on the westernmost wall. Some are long, some square; they're all surreal and precious-feeling despite the fact that their shapes are... More >>
Culver City	Arts, Art - Galleries

Marina Zurkow: Oil & Water; Blastomere Young Projects : Every Mon., Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri. until October 25
The fancy new Red Building at the Pacific Design Center certainly grabs its share of attention in the shiny West Hollywood skyline.

The 4 & 20 All Star Lanes : 8:00 p.m. every Tue.
Against all odds, there is yet another reason to frequent Eagle Rock's All Star Lanes. If glow-in-the-dark bowling, embarrassment-indifferent karaoke and recession-friendly drinks aren't enough to tempt, here's another delight: novice comedy. The 4 & 20 is a weekly selection of four of the... More >>

Gogol Bordello The Fonda Theatre : 8:00 p.m. October 7; 8:00 p.m. October 8; 8:00 p.m. October 9
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 >>
