The Dogs, The Black Widows, The Rough Kids

The Redwood Bar & Grill : 9:00 p.m. October 11

The Dogs were punk rock before the term even existed, forming in 1969 in Lansing, Mich., where they were inspired by such high-energy forebears as The Stooges and The MC5. But when The Dogs headed West, relocating to Hollywood in the mid-1970s, their songs became shorter, faster and meaner,... More >>

For Subsuelo's Los Tres Marks event, three of the most daring and experimental musicians -- all named Mark -- come together to dismantle and then reassemble hip-hop, funk, soul and ferociously rare vintage keyboards and even children's toys, too.

HK Zamani: Remembering and Forgetting; Susan Silas: RAVEN

CB1 Gallery : Every Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until October 13

Susan Silas' found birds series involves, as the title suggests, finding birds on sidewalks, alleys or lots. They've already died by the time Silas takes them home to photograph over a period of time. Often she treats them like sacred specimens, placing them against a white backdrop and... More >>

BODYTRAFFIC

The Broad Stage, Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center : 7:30 p.m. daily from October 11 until October 12

Sometimes the planets align in the best possible way. And so it is with L.A.'s own BODYTRAFFIC.

The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later

Davidson Valentini Theatre : 8:00 p.m. every Fri., Sat. until November 16; 7:00 p.m. every Sun. until November 16

The original production of The Laramie Project rode on the wave of passion and grief spawned by the murder of Matthew Shepard. The current work, which looks at Laramie and the related issues as they appear 10 years after the fact, is necessarily more contemplative and thoughtful, but it builds... More >>

Hollywood Theater

KT Tunstall

Hollywood Forever Cemetery : 9:00 p.m. October 11; 9:00 p.m. October 12

It's hard to stand out in a sonic landscape where singer songwriters are a penny a dozen, especially when armed only with an acoustic guitar. But for the past decade, Kate Victoria Tunstall, better known as KT Tunstall, has defied the odds. Tunstall's breakout track, 2005's "Black Horse and a... 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 >>

The Fifth Anniversary Group Exhibition

Offramp Gallery : Every Fri., Sat., Sun. until October 13

Some galleries are as much an art project as the exhibitions they present. In Pasadena, that's certainly true of Jane Chafin and Chaz Alexander's gallery.

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 >>

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 >>

Werner Herzog: Hearsay of the Soul

The Getty Center : Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until January 19

Junipero Serra and the Legacies of the California Missions

Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens : Every Mon., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until January 6

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.

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.

Sam Francis: Five Decades of Abstract Expressionism From California Collections

Pasadena Museum of California Art : Every Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until January 5

Late in the 1950s, when David Rockefeller decided Chase Manhattan Bank should have an art program, Sam Francis was one of the first painters the bank enlisted.

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.

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 >>

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 >>

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 >>
